GitHub Star/Unstar Notifications to Slack

This workflow automates monitoring of GitHub repository stars and unstars specifically for the n8n-io/n8n repository. It uses a GitHub Trigger node to listen for 'star' events, then an IF node checks the action ('created' for new stars or 'deleted' for removals). Depending on the result, it posts to Slack's #general channel: green attachments for new stars showing the stargazer's name, avatar, profile link, and updated count; red for removals.

Benefits include real-time visibility into repository engagement without manual checks, helping maintainers track popularity, identify supporters, and respond promptly. It saves time on monitoring tools and integrates seamlessly with Slack for team alerts.

Ideal use cases: Open-source project maintainers, developer teams promoting repos, marketing for growth tracking, or any GitHub user wanting Slack notifications for stars. Easily customizable for other repos by editing trigger parameters and credentials.
