Daily GitHub Release Notifications by Email

This n8n workflow monitors a specified GitHub repository for new releases on a daily basis, fetching the latest release data via the GitHub API. It checks if the release occurred within the past 24 hours using conditional logic, processes the release notes by splitting content and converting Markdown to HTML for better email readability, and then sends a polished notification email.

Key benefits include staying effortlessly updated on software updates without manual checks, saving time for developers and project managers. The modular design allows easy customization, such as changing the repository URL or integrating with other tools like Slack. It handles formatting automatically, ensuring professional-looking emails with structured release information.

Ideal use cases: Track updates for critical open-source projects like n8n itself, internal team repos, or vendor software. Perfect for dev teams, ops engineers, or anyone needing reliable, automated alerts to maintain currency with dependencies and avoid missing important patches or features.
