Send alert when data is created in app/database — n8n Workflow

Medium complexity⚡ Trigger6 nodes🏷️ Project Management👁 2,757 viewsby n8n Team

Overview

This template shows how you can take any event from any service, transform its data and send an alert to your desired app.

Specifically, this example monitors a Linear project for new bug submissions. Then it only sends a Slack notification to a channel if a new bug is urgent. You can swap the Linear trigger for another Task Management app such as Jira or Asana; or an entirely different usecase.

Setup instructions are located inside the workflow template.
