About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow provides a seamless solution for staying informed about the latest releases from any GitHub repository. Running on a daily schedule, it connects to the GitHub API to fetch the most recent release information. It then intelligently extracts the release notes, which are often in Markdown format, and converts them into clean, readable HTML. Finally, these formatted release notes are delivered directly to your specified Gmail inbox. This automation is perfect for developers, project managers, or anyone who needs to closely monitor software updates without manual checking, ensuring you're always aware of new features, bug fixes, and announcements.
