Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Developers who need to stay updated on the latest releases of specific GitHub repositories.
- Project Managers who want to monitor software updates and ensure their teams are using the latest versions.
- DevOps Engineers looking for automated notifications for release management.
- Teams using Slack for communication, seeking to streamline their notification processes.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually checking for updates on GitHub repositories. It automates the process of fetching the latest release information and sending notifications to a Slack channel, ensuring teams are always informed about new releases without the need for constant manual checks.

Workflow Steps

  • Daily Trigger: The workflow starts on a scheduled basis, allowing it to run automatically every day.
    2. RepoConfig: A JavaScript node defines which GitHub repositories to monitor by specifying the organization and repository names.
    3. Fetch Github Repo Releases: This node retrieves the latest release information from each specified repository using the GitHub API.
    4. Wether Release is new: A conditional node checks if the fetched release is new by comparing the release date with the current date minus one day.
    5. Send Message: If a new release is detected, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel, notifying team members of the new release details, including the release name, description, and a link to the release.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Add or Modify Repositories: In the RepoConfig node, you can add new GitHub repositories by adding new JSON objects with the organization and repository names.
    - Change Notification Channel: In the Send Message node, update the channelId parameter to specify a different Slack channel for notifications.
    - Customize Notification Content: Modify the text parameter in the Send Message node to change the message format or content according to your team's needs.
    - Adjust Trigger Schedule: In the Daily Trigger node, you can modify the scheduling rule to change how often the workflow runs, whether it's daily, weekly, or at specific times.
