This n8n workflow automates the management of GitHub issues and comments based on specific trigger events. It activates when issues or issue comments are created or updated in a designated repository. The workflow then checks whether the issue is already assigned or if the comment indicates a willingness to work on the issue. If the issue is unassigned, it assigns the issue creator automatically; if the commenter wants to work, it assigns them as well. Additionally, the workflow adds comments to acknowledge the assignment, ensuring clear communication. This automation streamlines issue management, reduces manual effort, and improves collaboration within development teams.
The workflow begins with a GitHub trigger monitoring ‘issue’ and ‘issue_comment’ events. Depending on the event action (‘opened’ or ‘created’), it flows into conditional checks:
– It verifies if the issue has any assignees.
– It scans issue comments for keywords indicating the desire to work.
– If no assignees are present, it assigns the issue creator automatically.
– If the commenter signals intent to work, it assigns them as well.
– It leaves a comment confirming the assignment, enhancing communication.
This workflow is ideal for teams seeking to automate issue triage and delegation, ensuring issues are promptly assigned to team members willing to handle them, thereby accelerating project workflows and enhancing productivity.
