How It Works
This n8n workflow operates on a recurring schedule to monitor your GitHub account for new notifications and alert your team via Discord.
- The workflow initiates every minute via a Cron trigger.
- It calculates the exact timestamp for one minute prior to the current time, ensuring it only fetches the most recent updates.
- An HTTP Request node securely connects to the GitHub API, pulling all new notifications generated since the last check.
- A Function node then intelligently processes these raw GitHub notifications. It extracts crucial details like the reason for the notification, the subject title, and a direct URL, then formats them into a concise, readable message. This node also checks if any new notifications were actually found.
- An IF node acts as a conditional gate, proceeding only if the Function node identifies new notifications.
- Finally, if new notifications are detected, the Discord node dispatches the formatted summary to your designated Discord channel, optionally tagging a specific user for immediate attention.
