Automated GitHub Repository Monitoring and Management with Webhooks
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow provides a powerful, webhook-driven solution to monitor multiple GitHub repositories without the need for constant polling. It allows you to programmatically register and delete webhooks for push and pull request events, then centralize notifications to platforms like Slack and Telegram.
About This Workflow
Effortlessly keep track of all development activity across your GitHub repositories with this n8n workflow. Leveraging GitHub webhooks, it enables real-time monitoring of push and pull request events, eliminating inefficient polling. The workflow streamlines management by allowing programmatic registration and deletion of webhooks for any number of repositories. Once an event is detected, it automatically extracts crucial details like author, commit message, and modified files, then dispatches custom notifications to your preferred communication channels, such as Slack or Telegram. Ideal for development teams and project managers seeking an efficient, centralized view of their codebases.
Key Features
- Webhook-Driven Monitoring: Receive real-time updates for
pushandpull_requestevents directly from GitHub, ensuring instant notifications without polling. - Programmatic Webhook Management: Easily register and delete GitHub webhooks for multiple repositories using a single, automated workflow.
- Multi-Repository Support: Configure and monitor an unlimited number of GitHub repositories from a centralized n8n instance.
- Rich Event Data Extraction: Automatically parse and extract key information from GitHub events, including repository name, author, commit timestamp, message, and modified files.
- Flexible Notification System: Send detailed, customizable alerts to popular platforms like Slack and Telegram, keeping your team informed.
How To Use
- Prepare Credentials: Ensure you have a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with
reposcope permissions for API calls. Add it as anHTTP Header Authcredential in n8n. - Setup n8n Webhook Listener: Add a Webhook node (a real one, not just an
httpRequest) to your workflow to act as the receiver for GitHub events. Copy its URL. - Configure GitHub Webhook Registration: In the 'Register Github Webhook' HTTP Request node, replace the
webhook.siteURL in the JSON body'sconfig.urlfield with the URL of your n8n Webhook node (from step 2). - Define Repositories: In a
Setnode (or similar, preceding the 'Split Out' nodes), provide a list of GitHub repository URLs (e.g.,["https://github.com/org/repo1", "https://github.com/org/repo2"]) under a field namedrepos. - Trigger Webhook Management: Manually execute the workflow via the 'When clicking Test workflow' node to register or delete webhooks based on your input path.
- Enable Notifications: Configure your Slack and/or Telegram nodes with your API credentials and target channel/chat IDs. Remember to enable any disabled notification nodes (like 'Notify Slack') once configured.
