Instructions

Automate GitHub Issue Enrichment and Response

Easily manage your GitHub issue tracking with this smart automation template. Instantly analyze new issues as they come in, extract important details, check your records, and keep everyone updated without manual effort.

Trigger Event

New GitHub Issue Triggered

Whenever a new issue is created in your GitHub repository, this workflow automatically starts. It checks if the issue has a specific label, includes particular content, or is opened by a designated creator.

Actions

1. Keyword Extraction and Text Processing

The automation first extracts important keywords from the issue (like "bug", "feature", or "fix") and makes the text easier to read by removing any unwanted formatting. This helps you quickly understand what the issue is about.

2. Lookup in Google Sheets

Next, it checks your connected Google Sheet to see if a similar issue or topic already exists. If not found, it can create a new record. This keeps your spreadsheet in sync and up-to-date.

3. Date and Time Formatting

The workflow then formats the time and date related to the issue, making sure it's clear, standardized, and easy to reference, including the day and time zone.

4. Post a Comment on the Issue

Finally, the automation posts a comment directly on the GitHub issue with the formatted date and time or any important note you want, so everyone is notified promptly.

Benefits

  • Saves time on manual triaging and response
  • Ensures issues are always recorded and tracked
  • Keeps your team and stakeholders informed automatically
  • Helps maintain clean, organized records of every issue

Automate this process and let your team work smarter, not harder!
