Assign issues to interested contributors — n8n Workflow

Medium complexity⚡ Trigger11 nodes🏷️ Project Management👁 869 viewsby Harshil Agrawal

Overview

This workflow handles the incoming issues and issues comments for your open-source project. If a contributor is interested, the workflow will assign them the issue.

Note: For organizations, you will have to use the Webhook node to trigger the workflow. You will also have to use the HTTP Request node instead of the regular GitHub node.

You can learn more about this workflow by reading the blog on https://n8n.io/blog.
