detail.loadingPreview
Stay informed about the latest GitHub releases with this automated workflow. Get instant Slack notifications whenever a new release is published for your monitored repositories, ensuring you never miss an update.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow automates the monitoring of GitHub repositories for new releases. Triggered daily, it fetches the latest release information for configured repositories. It then intelligently checks if the release occurred within the last 24 hours. If a new release is detected, a customized message is sent to a designated Slack channel, providing details about the release name, a snippet of its description, and a direct link to the release page. This workflow is ideal for development teams, project managers, and anyone who needs to stay on top of software updates and changes.
It leverages n8n's powerful node-based system to connect GitHub's API with Slack's messaging capabilities seamlessly.
