Track SDK Documentation Drift with GitHub, Notion, Google Sheets, and Slack

This n8n workflow helps maintain consistency between your SDK's GitHub repository and its documentation hosted in Notion, while keeping track of changes in a Google Sheet and notifying a Slack channel. It's designed to automatically detect when a new SDK version is released on GitHub and then prompt for a documentation update, ensuring your users always have access to the latest information.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

1. Monitors GitHub for new SDK releases: It acts as a trigger, listening for new releases published in a specified GitHub repository.
2. Records the new version in Google Sheets: Upon a new release, the workflow adds a new row to a Google Sheet, logging the new SDK version.
3. Creates a Notion task for documentation update: A new item is created in a Notion database, serving as a task to update the SDK documentation to reflect the new version.
4. Notifies a Slack channel: A message is posted to a designated Slack channel, announcing the new SDK release and the need for a documentation update.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

• n8n Account: A running n8n instance (cloud or self-hosted).
• GitHub Account: With access to the SDK repository you wish to monitor. You'll need credentials to set up the GitHub Trigger.
• Google Sheets Account: A Google Sheet set up to log SDK versions. You'll need credentials for Google Sheets.
• Notion Account: A Notion database configured to track documentation update tasks. You'll need credentials for Notion.
• Slack Account: A Slack workspace and channel to post notifications. You'll need credentials for Slack.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Credentials:
   • GitHub Trigger: Set up your GitHub OAuth or Access Token credential to allow n8n to listen for new releases in your repository. Specify the repository you want to monitor.
   • Google Sheets: Set up your Google OAuth credential. Configure the "Google Sheets" node to point to your desired spreadsheet and sheet name, and map the data fields (e.g., SDK Version).
   • Notion: Set up your Notion API Key credential. Configure the "Notion" node to select your documentation task database and map the relevant fields (e.g., Task Name, Status, SDK Version).
   • Slack: Set up your Slack OAuth credential. Configure the "Slack" node to specify the channel where notifications should be posted and customize the message content.
3. Activate the workflow: Once all credentials and node settings are configured, activate the workflow.

Now, every time a new release is published on your monitored GitHub repository, the workflow will automatically update your Google Sheet, create a Notion task, and send a Slack notification.
