Automate Release Issue Creation for Docker Linkcheck
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the process of creating GitLab issues for new Docker Linkcheck releases. It ensures that if a new release is published without a corresponding issue, one is automatically generated, streamlining your release management.
About This Workflow
This workflow provides a robust solution for monitoring new releases of the docker-linkcheck project on GitHub and automatically creating corresponding issues in GitLab. Triggered weekly by a Cron node, it fetches the latest GitHub release and then queries GitLab for existing issues. A clever function node merges these two data sources, identifying if a release exists without a matching issue. If no issue is found, a new GitLab issue is proactively created, including the release URL and body, with the title indicating the upstream release tag. This ensures critical releases are always tracked within your issue management system, preventing oversight and improving accountability.
Key Features
- Automated Release Monitoring: Continuously checks for the latest GitHub release.
- Intelligent Issue Correlation: Compares releases with existing GitLab issues to detect discrepancies.
- Proactive Issue Creation: Automatically generates GitLab issues for un-documented releases.
- Customizable Notifications: Leverages release details (URL, body) for informative issue content.
- Scheduled Execution: Runs weekly to ensure timely updates.
