Automated Build Trigger from GitHub Events

This n8n workflow automates the process of triggering CI/CD pipelines based on specific GitHub repository events. It starts with a GitHub trigger that monitors a repository for push events or pull request actions. When such an event occurs, an IF node evaluates whether the event is a push or a pull request opened. If the condition is met, the workflow proceeds to trigger a Travis CI build for the relevant repository, facilitating continuous integration. If the condition is not satisfied, the workflow ends with a NoOp node, which performs no action.

The workflow’s components include:

– GitHub Trigger Node: Listens for push or pull request events via OAuth2 authentication.

– IF Node: Checks the event type to determine if it should proceed.

– Travis CI Node: Initiates a build on Travis CI for the repository involved.

– NoOp Node: Provides a safe end point if conditions are not met.

This setup is particularly useful for development teams seeking automated testing and deployment workflows triggered by GitHub activity, ensuring continuous integration pipelines run only for relevant events, reducing unnecessary builds.
