How it works
This workflow automates GitHub issue management based on specific keywords.
- Github Trigger: Listens for
issue_commentandissuesevents on a specified GitHub repository. - Switch Node: Determines the type of event received. It routes to different paths for 'opened' and 'created' issue events.
- IF no assignee? Node (for opened issues): Checks if an issue has any assignees. If not, it proceeds to assign the issue creator.
- Assign Issue Creator Node: If the issue has no assignees, this node assigns the issue creator as the assignee and adds an 'assigned' label.
- IF wants to work? Node (for comments): Triggers when a new comment is made on an issue. It checks if the comment body contains the regex pattern
/[a,A]ssign[\w*\s*]*me/gm, indicating the commenter wants to be assigned. - IF not assigned? Node: If the 'wants to work' condition is met, this node checks if the issue is currently assigned.
- Assign Commenter Node: If the issue is not already assigned and the comment requests assignment, this node assigns the commenter to the issue and adds an 'assigned' label.
- Add Comment Node: If the issue is already assigned, this node posts a comment on the issue informing the commenter that it's already assigned to someone else.
- NoOp Nodes: Act as placeholders to signify the end of a logic path without performing any action.
Key Features
- Automatic issue assignment based on creator.
- Automatic assignee assignment from issue comments.
- Keyword detection for assignment requests ('assign me').
- Real-time GitHub event monitoring.
- Notification for already assigned issues.
How To Use
- GitHub Trigger: Configure the GitHub trigger node with your repository owner, name, and select the
issue_commentandissuesevents. Ensure you have authenticated with GitHub using OAuth2. - Switch Node: Set the
value1to={{$json["body"]["action"]}}to switch based on the GitHub event action. - IF no assignee? Node: Configure conditions to check if
={{$json["body"]["issue"]["assignees"].length}}is equal to0and if the issue body matches/[a,A]ssign[\w*\s*]*me/gm(optional, for when an issue is opened and someone immediately requests assignment in the body). - Assign Issue Creator Node: Ensure the GitHub credentials are set. The
owner,repository, andissueNumbershould be dynamically pulled from the trigger. Theassigneeshould be={{$json["body"]["issue"]["user"]["login"]}}. - IF wants to work? Node: Set the
value1to={{$json["body"]["comment"]["body"]}}and thevalue2to/[a,A]ssure[\w*\s*]*me/gmto detect assignment requests in comments. - IF not assigned? Node: Set the condition to check if
={{$json["body"]["issue"]["assignees"].length}}is equal to0. - Assign Commenter Node: Ensure the GitHub credentials are set. The
owner,repository, andissueNumbershould be dynamically pulled. Theassigneeshould be={{$json["body"]["comment"]["user"]["login"]}}. - Add Comment Node: Configure the message for when an issue is already assigned. Use placeholders like
@{{$json["body"]["comment"]["user"]["login"]}}and{{$json["body"]["issue"]["assignee"]["login"]}}.
