Discord and GitHub integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Discord and GitHub and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Communication, HITL, and Development workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Discord and GitHub

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Discord and GitHub nodes

You can find Discord and GitHub in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Discord and GitHub nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Discord and GitHub

A connection establishes a link between Discord and GitHub (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Discord and GitHub integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Discord and GitHub with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Discord and GitHub workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Discord to GitHub or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Backup n8n workflows to Github

Introduction
This workflow will backup all of your existed workflows to a single Github repository.

The Backup folders' name are based on the current backup date and have default format: "yyyy/MM/dd" (setup at "Create sub path" node).

Throughout the backup process, the N8N will inform user via discord with clear message about Start, Success and Failure backups.

The workflow will be

Tech Stack
The following nodes / services / libraries are used in this workflow:

Nodes:
Discord: To send message to configured setup channel.
N8N: To get all workflows' information.
Github: To store backup data.
Code: To run data comparison (Existed vs Latest workflow data).
Wait: To avoid discord message rate limit.

External libraries:
Underscore.js: JavaScript library that provides lots of common Javascript functions, to help user save time when using code node.

Guideline
Open "Config" node and setup the following information:
repo_owner: Your Github username.
repo_name: The repository that you want to store workflows backup data.
Open "Create sub path" node and change the naming and path format of backup folder(s).
Setup custom messages in 3 discord nodes:
Starting Message: N8N inform user at the time workflow start.
Inform Success Flows: After each success backup, N8N will notify user.
Inform Failed Flows: After each failure backup, N8N will notify user to have appropriate action.
Completed Notifications: Then at the final, the workflow will give user a summary.
Setup "Schedule Trigger" node to change default automated backup time.
