Daily GitHub Open Issues Summary to Slack

Daily GitHub Open Issues Summary to Slack

Introduction

Start every day with a clear view of what’s pending on GitHub—right inside Slack. ✅

Trigger Event

A daily schedule (e.g., 9:00 AM) kicks off the workflow.

Actions

  • The workflow looks up your chosen GitHub repository and fetches all open issues in pages, skipping anything that’s actually a pull request.
  • It formats a concise summary with each issue’s number, title, assignee, and a direct link.
  • That summary is posted to Slack—either as a DM to a teammate or to a team channel—so everyone sees what needs attention.

Benefits

  • Save time: No more manual checks across GitHub repos
  • Faster standups: Everyone sees priorities at a glance
  • Fewer misses: Direct links reduce context switching
  • Consistent: Arrives at the same time every day, automatically
