This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring specific GitHub repositories for new releases and sending notifications to a Slack channel. It is designed for developers and teams who want to stay updated on important project releases without manual checks.
The workflow begins with a schedule trigger that runs daily, initiating the process. It loads repository configurations—allowing multiple repos to be monitored—using a JavaScript code node that returns an array of objects containing GitHub organization and repository names.
For each repository configured, the workflow fetches the latest release data from GitHub’s API through an HTTP request node. After retrieving the release information, it checks whether the release was published within the last 24 hours using a conditional ‘If’ node.
If a new release is detected, the workflow proceeds to send a formatted notification message to a specified Slack channel. The message includes the project name, release title, a snippet of the release notes, and a link to view the release.
Additionally, sticky notes are used within the workflow for setup instructions, making it user-friendly for configuration and maintenance.
This automation is particularly useful for development teams and open-source projects that want to streamline their release monitoring and communication process, ensuring everyone stays informed with minimal manual effort.
