Get GitHub Contributor Info via Slack Slash Command

This n8n workflow enables seamless integration between Slack and GitHub, allowing users to invoke a slash command in Slack (e.g., /githubuser username) to retrieve comprehensive contributor information. It uses a webhook to capture the command, queries the GitHub GraphQL API for user details including name, company, location, avatar, public email, and recent pull request commits to extract associated emails. A custom function processes the data, matching commit author names to compile a list of unique emails.

Benefits include rapid access to contributor contact info without leaving Slack, saving time on manual GitHub searches. It's particularly useful for open-source maintainers, HR in tech teams, or project leads verifying contributor identities. The workflow handles nested GraphQL responses efficiently, providing formatted output ready for Slack posting (assumed final node).

Use cases: Onboarding new contributors by auto-fetching emails; auditing pull request authors; team notifications with profiles. Requires a GitHub personal access token. Scalable for workspaces with high GitHub activity, enhancing productivity in development workflows.
