1.1 Workflow description

Title
Send Github notifications to Discord webhook
Workflow name
Send Github notifications to Discord webhook

This will send your Github notifications to a discord webhook.

Since Github doesn't send push notifications to mobile devices other then @mention this is a great workaround to receive notifications on Discord with this.

Using a github trigger was not a good option as there is no trigger for notifications only events (which don't work on org repos). Using http request on notifications api is way better.

++TAGGING USER IN MESSATGE:++ Change <@userIdForTagging> with your discord Id to get tagged when sending notifications. To find your own id type in any channel backslash followed by your username with the 4 digit hash code

You can copy this by clicking on your username next to your profile picture

Example:

\@username#9999

Enjoy!

4. Reproducing the Workflow from Scratch

  1. 1. Download the workflow JSON

    Use the JSON export at /data/workflows/471/471.json as the source template for this automation.

  2. 2. Import the template into n8n

    Open n8n, import the downloaded JSON, and review each node before activating the workflow.

  3. 3. Configure credentials and variables

    Replace placeholder credentials, API keys, webhook URLs, account IDs, and environment-specific values with your own settings.

  4. 4. Test with sample data

    Run the workflow manually or in a staging workspace, inspect node output, and confirm downstream systems receive the expected data.

  5. 5. Activate and monitor

    Enable the workflow only after testing, then monitor executions, errors, and rate limits during the first production runs.

5. General Notes & Resources

Review imported nodes carefully before activation. This catalog entry is intended to help you inspect the workflow structure, understand required services, and find related templates faster.

Node names, credentials, schedules, webhook paths, and external service limits may need adjustment for your workspace.
