GitHub Issue Tracking Slack Bot

GitHub Slack Bot – Automated Issue Notifications

This workflow automates the process of notifying a Slack channel whenever a new issue is created or updated in a GitHub repository.

How It Works:

1. Webhook Listener (GitHub Webhook Node)

   • The workflow starts by receiving real-time GitHub issue events via a webhook.
   • It captures details such as the issue title, status, labels, assigned user, and repository name.

2. Data Processing (Set Properties Node)

   • Extracts and organizes key issue details from the GitHub event payload.
   • Ensures the message includes relevant information, making it easy to track issues.

3. Slack Notification (Slack Node)

   • Sends a structured message to a designated Slack channel.
   • The message includes a direct link to the GitHub issue, the creator’s username, labels, the assigned person (if any), and the repository name.
   • Uses Slack’s Block Kit formatting for clear and easy readability.

Business Impact:
✅ Improves visibility – Engineers and support teams get instant alerts on new issues.
✅ Reduces response time – Team members can quickly take action without manually checking GitHub.
✅ Enhances collaboration – Ensures that support, engineering, and product teams stay aligned.

This workflow streamlines issue tracking, helping teams stay proactive in resolving bugs and feature requests efficiently.
