Automated GitLab Issue Creation for Every GitHub Release

Overview

This workflow automates the process of creating a GitLab issue whenever a new release is published on a GitHub repository. It ensures that development and project management teams using both platforms stay synchronized.

Key Features

• Scheduled Checks: Uses a cron node to periodically check for the latest GitHub releases.
• Release Detection: Retrieves the most recent release from GitHub.
• Duplicate Prevention: Merges data and checks if an issue for the release already exists in GitLab.
• Automated Issue Creation: If no corresponding issue is found, it automatically creates a new issue in GitLab.

Benefits

• Cross-Platform Synchronization: Keeps GitLab issues aligned with GitHub releases, reducing manual effort.
• Error Reduction: Prevents duplicate issues and ensures accurate tracking.
• Time Savings: Automates repetitive tasks, freeing up team resources.

Use Cases

• Teams managing code on GitHub but tracking tasks or bugs in GitLab.
• Organizations migrating between platforms or using both for different workflows.

Integrations & Processes

• GitHub: Fetches release data.
• GitLab: Lists and creates issues.
• n8n Automation: Orchestrates the entire process with logic and scheduling.
