GitHub Event Trigger

Key Features and Highlights

This workflow automatically triggers subsequent actions by monitoring all events on the specified GitHub repository (n8n-io/n8n-docs). It leverages n8n’s built-in GitHub Trigger node to respond in real-time to various event types such as pushes, pull requests, and releases, ensuring immediate reaction to repository activities.

Core Problem Addressed

It eliminates the complexity and delays associated with manually monitoring GitHub repository events by enabling event-driven automated workflow triggering, thereby enhancing responsiveness in development, documentation maintenance, and project management.

Use Cases

  • Automated notifications for project documentation updates
  • Triggering Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines
  • Real-time event response for development team collaboration
  • Monitoring codebase changes and generating reports

Main Workflow Steps

  1. Listen to all events on the specified GitHub repository (n8n-io/n8n-docs).
  2. Automatically trigger subsequent workflows whenever any event occurs (further configuration by the user may be required based on specific needs).

Involved Systems or Services

  • GitHub: Serves as the event source, providing comprehensive repository event data.
  • n8n: An automation workflow platform responsible for event listening and executing follow-up processes.

Target Users and Value

Ideal for developers, project managers, operations personnel, and documentation teams, this workflow facilitates automated monitoring and response to GitHub repository events, improving work efficiency, reducing human oversight, and promoting agile development and collaboration.

Retry on Fail Except for Known Error Template

This workflow implements an intelligent automatic retry mechanism that effectively manages exceptions in automated tasks. It differentiates between "known errors" and other errors; for unknown errors, it will automatically retry until the maximum number of attempts is reached, while known errors are directly marked and skipped for retry. This design enhances the stability of the process and the efficiency of resource utilization, making it particularly suitable for scenarios such as API calls and data synchronization, ensuring a quick recovery in the event of temporary failures.

Netlify Deployment Failure Notification Automation Workflow

This workflow monitors the Netlify deployment status in real-time. In the event of a deployment failure, it immediately sends a detailed notification via Slack, including the site name, error message, and deployment link. This automation significantly enhances the team's response speed to deployment issues, ensuring that critical failure information is not overlooked. It is suitable for website development and operations teams, helping to quickly identify and resolve problems, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of project launches.

Weekly Failures Report

This workflow automatically queries the execution records of a specified workflow every week, filtering out the failed executions from the past week, and sends a summary report to the user via Telegram. This feature helps users stay informed about any anomalies in workflow operations, improves operational efficiency, and reduces the risk of business interruptions. It is suitable for automated operations teams and enterprise users who need to track process status. Through this automated mechanism, users can effectively monitor the health status of workflows without manual intervention.

Slack-GitHub User Info

This workflow automatically queries detailed information for a specified GitHub username by receiving user commands in Slack, and sends the organized information back to Slack as a message, making it easy for team members to quickly access developer information. It effectively addresses the cumbersome process of manually searching for information, enhancing communication efficiency and collaboration experience. By integrating Webhook triggers, flexible GraphQL queries, and custom functions, it ensures that the information is accurate and free of redundancy, making it suitable for various scenarios such as development teams, project managers, and human resources.

Error Notification Workflow

This workflow focuses on the automatic capture and processing of error events from other workflows, generating real-time error alert messages and sending them to designated groups via Telegram. This mechanism effectively shortens fault response time, enhances system stability, and ensures that operations and business personnel can promptly understand issues. It is suitable for automated process monitoring, unified error management, and status tracking for DevOps teams. With simple configuration, users can achieve efficient error notifications, ensuring business continuity.

FetchGithubIssues

This workflow regularly fetches the latest open issues with the "Bug" label from a specified GitHub repository, focusing on critical issues with fewer than 5 comments. It automatically retrieves and filters qualifying issues every 10 minutes, pushing their titles and links in real-time to a designated Telegram user for quick bug monitoring and notifications. This approach helps the development team stay informed about important defects in the project, enhances issue response speed and communication efficiency, and simplifies the manual monitoring process.
