n8n GitHub Bounty Issue Tracker & Alert System

This n8n workflow automates the process of tracking GitHub issues, extracting key information, and sending alerts via email and WhatsApp. It's designed to help teams monitor specific GitHub repositories for new issues, especially those related to bounties or critical tasks, and ensure timely notifications.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

  1. Scheduled Trigger: The workflow is initiated on a regular schedule (e.g., daily, hourly) to check for updates.
  2. Fetch GitHub Issues: It makes an HTTP request to the GitHub API to retrieve a list of issues from a specified repository.
  3. Extract Data: The HTML node is used to parse the response from the GitHub API, likely extracting issue titles, URLs, and other relevant details.
  4. Split Issues: The Split Out node separates the retrieved issues into individual items, allowing for individual processing.
  5. Filter Issues: A Filter node applies logic to determine which issues are relevant for further processing (e.g., filtering by labels like "bounty", "critical", or specific keywords).
  6. Update Google Sheets: For each filtered issue, it adds a new row to a Google Sheet, logging the issue details. This creates a centralized tracker for all relevant issues.
  7. Merge Data: The Merge node combines the output from the Google Sheets operation.
  8. Send Email Alert: It sends an email notification via Gmail with details of the new or updated issues.
  9. Send WhatsApp Alert: It sends a WhatsApp message via WhatsApp Business Cloud, providing a quick alert about the issues.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • GitHub Account: Access to a GitHub repository (public or private with appropriate authentication).
  • Google Sheets Account: A Google Sheets spreadsheet set up to log issue details.
  • Gmail Account: A Gmail account for sending email alerts.
  • WhatsApp Business Cloud Account: A configured WhatsApp Business Cloud account for sending WhatsApp alerts.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the workflow: Download the JSON provided and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • HTTP Request (GitHub): You might need to set up an API key or personal access token for GitHub if accessing private repositories or to avoid rate limits.
    • Google Sheets: Configure your Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials. Select the correct spreadsheet and sheet name in the node settings.
    • Gmail: Configure your Gmail OAuth2 credentials.
    • WhatsApp Business Cloud: Configure your WhatsApp Business Cloud credentials.
  3. Customize Nodes:
    • Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule to your desired frequency (e.g., every 15 minutes, once a day).
    • HTTP Request: Update the URL to point to your specific GitHub repository's issues API endpoint (e.g., https://api.github.com/repos/YOUR_ORG/YOUR_REPO/issues).
    • HTML: Review and adjust the CSS selectors in the HTML node to correctly extract data from GitHub's API response.
    • Filter: Modify the filter conditions to match your specific criteria for issues (e.g., item.labels.includes('bounty'), item.title.includes('critical')).
    • Google Sheets: Ensure the column mapping in the Google Sheets node matches your spreadsheet's headers.
    • Gmail: Customize the email subject and body to include relevant issue details using expressions. Set the recipient email address.
    • WhatsApp Business Cloud: Customize the message template and recipient phone number.

IT ops AI SlackBot workflow - chat with your knowledge base

Video Demo: Click here to see a video of this workflow in action. Summary Description: The "IT Department Q&A Workflow" is designed to streamline and automate the process of handling IT-related inquiries from employees through Slack. When an employee sends a direct message (DM) to the IT department's Slack channel, the workflow is triggered. The initial step involves the "Receive DMs" node, which listens for new messages. Upon receiving a message, the workflow verifies the webhook by responding to Slack's challenge request, ensuring that the communication channel is active and secure. Once the webhook is verified, the workflow checks if the message sender is a bot using the "Check if Bot" node. If the sender is identified as a bot, the workflow terminates the process to avoid unnecessary actions. If the sender is a human, the workflow sends an acknowledgment message back to the user, confirming that their query is being processed. This is achieved through the "Send Initial Message" node, which posts a simple message like "On it!" to the user's Slack channel. The core functionality of the workflow is powered by the "AI Agent" node, which utilizes the OpenAI GPT-4 model to interpret and respond to the user's query. This AI-driven node processes the text of the received message, generating an appropriate response based on the context and information available. To maintain conversation context, the "Window Buffer Memory" node stores the last five messages from each user, ensuring that the AI agent can provide coherent and contextually relevant answers. Additionally, the workflow includes a custom Knowledge Base (KB) tool (see that tool template here) that integrates with the AI agent, allowing it to search the company's internal KB for relevant information. After generating the response, the workflow cleans up the initial acknowledgment message using the "Delete Initial Message" node to keep the conversation thread clean. Finally, the generated response is sent back to the user via the "Send Message" node, providing them with the information or assistance they requested. This workflow effectively automates the IT support process, reducing response times and improving efficiency. To quickly deploy the Knowledge Ninja app in Slack, use the app manifest below and don't forget to replace the two sample urls: { "display_information": { "name": "Knowledge Ninja", "description": "IT Department Q&A Workflow", "background_color": "005e5e" }, "features": { "bot_user": { "display_name": "IT Ops AI SlackBot Workflow", "always_online": true } }, "oauth_config": { "redirect_urls": [ "Replace everything inside the double quotes with your slack redirect oauth url, for example: https://n8n.domain.com/rest/oauth2-credential/callback" ], "scopes": { "user": [ "search:read" ], "bot": [ "chat:write", "chat:write.customize", "groups:history", "groups:read", "groups:write", "groups:write.invites", "groups:write.topic", "im:history", "im:read", "im:write", "mpim:history", "mpim:read", "mpim:write", "mpim:write.topic", "usergroups:read", "usergroups:write", "users:write", "channels:history" ] } }, "settings": { "event_subscriptions": { "request_url": "Replace everything inside the double quotes with your workflow webhook url, for example: https://n8n.domain.com/webhook/99db3e73-57d8-4107-ab02-5b7e713894ad", "bot_events": [ "message.im" ] }, "orgdeployenabled": false, "socketmodeenabled": false, "tokenrotationenabled": false } }
