This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring GitLab releases and managing related issues. Scheduled weekly via a Cron trigger, it fetches the latest release from GitHub, checks if a corresponding issue exists in GitLab, and creates a new issue if no match is found. The workflow enhances project management by ensuring that new releases are consistently tracked and documented in GitLab, reducing manual oversight and fostering efficient release management.
The workflow operates through several key steps:
1. A Cron trigger initiates the process weekly.
2. The ‘Get latest release’ node retrieves the most recent release from GitHub.
3. The ‘List issues’ node fetches existing issues from a specified GitLab repository.
4. A ‘Merge’ node combines the data to compare the latest release with existing issues.
5. A custom Function node checks if an issue for the release already exists.
6. If no existing issue matches the release, the workflow automatically creates a new issue in GitLab, including release details.
This automation is particularly useful in scenarios where continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines are used, enabling teams to keep release documentation current without manual effort, thereby improving release visibility and traceability.
