This n8n workflow automates notifications based on GitHub star activity for a specific repository. When someone stars or unstars the repository, the workflow triggers through a GitHub webhook. It then evaluates whether the action was a star or unstar event using an IF node. Depending on the result, it sends a customized message to a Slack channel. If a star is added, the workflow posts a positive notification with the user’s avatar and profile link. Conversely, if a star is removed, it posts a message indicating the removal. This automation helps maintain real-time awareness of repository engagement and fosters community interaction.

The steps include:

1. Listening for star events via the GitHub Trigger node.

2. Using the IF node to determine if the event is a star or unstar action.

3. Sending tailored notifications to Slack, with separate messages for added or removed stars.

This setup is particularly useful for open-source projects or team repositories where immediate recognition and transparency about user engagement are important. It encourages community involvement and keeps team members informed about repository popularity trends.
