GitHub Release Monitor: Daily Slack Alerts for New Releases

This n8n workflow automates monitoring of multiple public GitHub repositories for new releases. It runs on a daily schedule, using a configurable JSON array in the RepoConfig node to define repositories (e.g., n8n-io/n8n, home-assistant/core). For each repo, it fetches the latest release via the GitHub API. If the release was published within the past 24 hours, it triggers a Slack message with the repository name, release title, and direct link.

Key benefits include staying updated on critical open-source project updates without manual checks, saving time for developers, DevOps teams, and enthusiasts tracking multiple repos. It's highly customizable—easily add or remove repos in the code node—and integrates seamlessly with Slack for team notifications. Replace Slack with email, Discord, or other channels as needed.

Ideal use cases: Track releases for tools like n8n, Home Assistant, or any public GitHub project to ensure timely updates, security patches, or feature announcements. Perfect for personal dashboards, team monitoring, or CI/CD pipelines in IT and development workflows. Setup takes minutes: edit the repo list, connect Slack credentials, and activate.
