GitHub Issue Auto-Assignment and Collaboration Management Workflow
This workflow automatically assigns a responsible person to newly created issues or comments assigned to reviewers by listening to issue and comment events in a GitHub repository. It effectively prevents the oversight of unassigned tasks and the duplication of assignments, enabling intelligent allocation and instant feedback, thereby enhancing team collaboration efficiency. It is suitable for open-source projects and enterprise software development, helping project managers and team members quickly respond to collaboration requests and optimize the task allocation process.

GitHub Issue Auto-Assignment and Collaboration Management Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow listens to Issue and Issue comment events in a specified GitHub repository and intelligently determines whether to assign an assignee for newly created Issues or users requesting "assign me" in comments. It can automatically assign unassigned Issues to their creators or assign commenters who request participation as assignees. Additionally, it posts comments on already assigned Issues to notify users and prevent duplicate assignments. The entire process is secured with OAuth2 authentication, ensuring reliability and safety.
Core Problems Addressed
- Manual assignment of GitHub Issue assignees is inefficient and prone to overlooking unassigned tasks.
- Lack of timely response mechanisms when team members proactively request collaboration.
- Potential confusion or duplicate assignee assignments in multi-person collaboration scenarios.
This workflow automates these challenges by enabling intelligent Issue assignee allocation and instant feedback, effectively improving team collaboration efficiency.
Use Cases
- Open source project management: Automatically assign assignees to new Issues promptly.
- Internal enterprise software development: Quickly respond to team members’ collaboration requests.
- Multi-contributor GitHub repositories: Enhance Issue management efficiency.
Main Process Steps
- Event Listening: Use the GitHub Trigger node to monitor Issue and Issue comment events in the specified repository (harshil1712/build-discord-bot).
- Event Type Determination: Use a Switch node to distinguish between newly opened Issues and comment events.
- Auto-Assignment for Unassigned Issues: If a newly created Issue has no assignee and its body contains an "assign me" request, automatically assign the Issue to its creator and add the "assigned" label.
- Handling Collaboration Requests in Comments: When a comment contains an "assign me" request, check if the Issue already has an assignee.
- If unassigned, automatically assign the commenter as the assignee and add the "assigned" label.
- If already assigned, post a comment notifying that the Issue has been assigned to avoid duplicate assignments.
- No-Operation Branch Handling: Events that do not meet assignment criteria are processed without action to ensure workflow stability.
Involved Systems or Services
- GitHub API — Utilizes OAuth2 authentication to enable Issue monitoring, assignee assignment, label management, and commenting operations.
- n8n Automation Platform — Orchestrates the entire logic flow automation.
Target Users and Value
- Open Source Maintainers: Automate Issue assignee management to enhance project governance efficiency.
- Software Development Teams: Prevent missed or duplicate assignee assignments and improve collaboration transparency.
- Project Managers and Team Members: Quickly respond to collaboration requests and optimize task allocation workflows.
This workflow empowers teams to achieve intelligent GitHub Issue management, reduce manual intervention, and enhance project progress control and collaborative experience.
Proxmox Intelligent API Interaction and Automated Management Workflow
This workflow integrates the API interface of the Proxmox virtualization environment with the Google Gemini AI model to achieve intelligent natural language command parsing and automatic API command generation. Users can easily manage operations such as creating, deleting, and starting virtual machines, which reduces operational complexity, enhances management efficiency, and minimizes human errors. It is suitable for scenarios such as cloud computing, IT operations, and DevOps, providing users with a convenient and secure virtual machine management experience.
StaticData AccessToken Management Demonstration Workflow
This workflow demonstrates how to automatically manage and persist access tokens, ensuring their validity to avoid interface call failures due to token expiration. By initializing static data, checking the token status, automatically requesting a new token when necessary, and updating storage, the token management process is streamlined. It is suitable for automated scenarios that require frequent access to APIs protected by tokens, helping to improve system operational efficiency and stability.
Send Daily Weather Updates to a Phone Number Using the Vonage Node
This workflow is capable of automatically retrieving weather information for a specified city every day and sending the day's temperature information to preset phone numbers via SMS service. By integrating scheduled triggers, weather data retrieval, and SMS sending, it ensures that users receive accurate and timely weather alerts, making it particularly suitable for individuals and businesses that require daily weather updates, thereby enhancing convenience and efficiency in both life and work.
Real-time GitHub Notification Monitoring and Discord Push
This workflow implements real-time monitoring of GitHub notifications, automatically retrieving the latest update information every minute and organizing it for push to a designated Discord channel. By utilizing dynamic time calculations and content formatting, it ensures that the messages pushed are concise and efficient, avoiding unnecessary notifications. It is suitable for software development teams and project managers, helping them to quickly respond to project dynamics and improve collaboration efficiency, thus addressing the inefficiency of manually checking notifications.
Clone n8n Workflows between Instances using n8n API
This workflow enables the automatic cloning and migration of workflows between different instances. By calling the API, users can batch retrieve the workflow list from the source instance and filter out workflows that do not exist in the target instance, creating and associating them sequentially with the specified project. This process supports flexible configuration of credentials and project names, ensuring accurate data migration, significantly enhancing the efficiency and security of workflow management, making it suitable for unified management and backup for multiple teams or enterprise-level users.
Automated PDF File Download Response Workflow
This workflow can automatically respond to specified GET requests, retrieving PDF files from a remote server and returning them as attachments to the requester. The filename includes the current date for easier management and identification. Through this process, users can download specific PDF documents in real-time without manually accessing and saving files, achieving automated, efficient, and secure distribution suitable for websites, applications, and any scenario that requires instant PDF downloads.
[OPS] Restore workflows from GitHub to n8n
This workflow implements the functionality of automatically restoring and synchronizing backup workflows from GitHub. By reading the workflow JSON files from a specified path in GitHub, it automatically compares them with the workflows in the current environment to avoid duplication, ensuring that only workflows that do not already exist are imported. This process simplifies the cumbersome manual import, enhances the management efficiency and security of workflows, and is suitable for enterprise IT teams, DevOps engineers, and development teams, ensuring a clean and orderly workflow environment.
Jira Event Trigger Workflow
This workflow automatically captures dynamic changes such as status updates and comments on project tasks by real-time monitoring of various events in Jira, enhancing the responsiveness and collaboration efficiency of project management. It not only triggers subsequent actions automatically, such as notifications and data synchronization, but also helps teams reduce the burden of manually checking task progress, ensuring timely information updates, lowering communication costs, and minimizing the risk of omissions. It is particularly suitable for development teams and project managers.
