Automated GitHub Issue Assignment with AI
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline your GitHub workflow by automatically assigning issues. This n8n workflow leverages AI to intelligently assign tasks based on issue content and user requests, boosting team efficiency.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the process of assigning GitHub issues, significantly enhancing development team productivity. It intelligently analyzes incoming issues and comments, determining the appropriate assignee. When an issue is opened or created, the workflow checks for assignee requests within the issue body. If an issue lacks an assignee, it can automatically assign the issue creator. For comments, it parses for phrases like 'assign me' and assigns the issue to the commenter if the issue isn't already assigned. If an issue is already assigned, it notifies the commenter without reassigning. This smart automation reduces manual overhead, ensures faster issue resolution, and keeps your development pipeline moving smoothly.
Key Features
- Intelligent Issue Assignment: Automatically assigns issues based on keywords and context.
- Comment-Based Assignment: Responds to 'assign me' requests in comments.
- Automatic Creator Assignment: Assigns the issue creator if no other assignee is specified.
- Conflict Detection: Avoids reassigning already assigned issues, notifying the commenter instead.
- Labeling: Adds an 'assigned' label upon successful assignment.
How To Use
- Set up GitHub Trigger: Configure the
Github Trigger1node to listen forissue_commentandissuesevents from your specified GitHub repository and owner. - Define Event Handling: Use the
Switchnode to differentiate between 'created' and 'opened' issue events. - Handle Unassigned Issues: Connect the output of the
Switchnode to anIF no assignee?node. This node checks if an issue has no assignees. - Assign Issue Creator: If the
IF no assignee?condition is true, use theAssign Issue Creatornode to assign the issue to the original creator and add the 'assigned' label. - Handle Commented Issues: Connect the
Switchnode to anIF wants to work?node. This node checks comments for phrases like 'assign me'. - Assign Commenter: If the
IF wants to work?condition is true and the issue is not already assigned (checked byIF not assigned?), use theAssign Commenternode to assign the issue to the commenter and add the 'assigned' label. - Notify Already Assigned: If the issue is already assigned and a comment requests assignment, use the
Add Commentnode to inform the commenter. - No Operation Nodes: Utilize
No Operation, do nothingnodes to gracefully handle conditions where no action is required.
