GitHub and Telegram integration

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

How to connect GitHub and Telegram

  • 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 GitHub and Telegram nodes

You can find GitHub and Telegram 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 GitHub and Telegram nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect GitHub and Telegram

A connection establishes a link between GitHub and Telegram (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 GitHub and Telegram 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 GitHub and Telegram with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your GitHub and Telegram workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from GitHub to Telegram 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.

Release a new version via Telegram bot command

This workflow allows you to release a new version via a Telegram bot command. This workflow can be used in your Continous Delivery pipeline.

Telegram Trigger node: This node will trigger the workflow when a message is sent to the bot. If you want to trigger the workflow via a different messaging platform or a service, replace the Telegram Trigger node with the Trigger node of that service.

IF node The IF node checks for the incoming command. If the command is not deploy, the IF node will return false, otherwise true.

Set node: This node extracts the value of the version from the Telegram message and sets the value. This value is used later in the workflow.

GitHub node: This node creates a new version release. It uses the version from the Set node to create the tag.

NoOp node: Adding this node is optional.

GitHub Fork Status Monitor

This workflow helps you keep an eye on your GitHub forks, notifying you when they fall behind or pull ahead of their upstream repositories. How It Works Fetches All Your Repos: The workflow starts by grabbing a list of all repositories owned by your GitHub account. Filters for Forks: It then intelligently filters this list to identify only your forked repositories. Compares Branches: For each identified fork, it compares its default branch against the upstream repository's default branch to find out how many commits it's ahead or behind. Filters for Changes: Only forks that are either ahead or behind their upstream (i.e., not perfectly in sync) are processed further. Generates Report: A concise, well-formatted report is compiled, highlighting the status and commit differences for each relevant fork. Sends Telegram Notification: Finally, this report is sent directly to your Telegram chat, keeping you informed in real-time. Setup Steps Copy the template Update triggers ( optional ) Update the credentials Prerequisites GitHub Credentials**: You'll need to provide your GitHub personal access token for the "Get All Repositories" and "Compare Branches API Call" nodes. Telegram Bot Setup**: Configure a Telegram Bot and obtain its API token and your chat ID for the "Send Report" node. Github Owner Username**: Update the "Get All Repositories" node with the GitHub username of the repository owner whose forks you want to monitor. Explore & Fine-Tune: All detailed instructions and explanations, including how to adjust the filtering logic or output formatting, are provided in sticky notes directly within the workflow canvas.

Get GitHub Issue Updates and Send Notifications to Telegram

Who is this for? This workflow is ideal for: Developers** who want to stay updated on issues without constantly checking GitHub. Managers** tracking issue progress in a Telegram group. DevOps teams that need automated notification alerts for new or updated issues. What problem does this workflow solve? Keeping track of GitHub issues manually can be tedious. Teams often miss critical updates because notifications are buried in emails or dashboards. This workflow automates the process by fetching new or open GitHub issues and instantly sending notifications to a specified Telegram chat. What this workflow does This workflow connects GitHub and Telegram to provide real-time issue notifications: Fetch GitHub Issues – Retrieves new or open issues from a selected GitHub repository. Format the Issue Details – Extracts key information like issue title, number, status, and URL. Send to Telegram – Posts the formatted issue details to a Telegram group or private chat. Setup Guide Prerequisites Before setting up the workflow, ensure you have: GitHub Personal Access Token**: Required to fetch issue details. Generate it under Developer Settings with repo or public_repo permissions. Telegram Bot Token**: Create a bot via BotFather on Telegram and obtain the token. Telegram Chat ID**: Find the chat ID where the bot should send messages using this method. Step-by-Step Setup Set Up GitHub Node Authenticate using your GitHub token. Choose the repository you want to track. Configure filters (e.g., fetch only open issues). Format Issue Details Extract key details like title, issue number, assignee, and status. Customize the message structure for better readability. Send Message to Telegram Add the Telegram node and enter your bot token. Use the Chat ID to define the recipient. Format the message to include issue details and links. Schedule the Workflow (Optional) Use the Cron node to run this workflow periodically (e.g., every hour). How to Customize This Workflow Filter Issues by Labels**: Modify the GitHub node to fetch only issues with specific labels. Include Additional Fields**: Add issue comments, priority, or assignee details in the message. Send Alerts Based on Priority**: Use conditional logic to send high-priority issues to a different chat. Trigger on Issue Events**: Instead of fetching periodically, use GitHub webhooks (if permitted in the repo) to trigger the workflow on issue creation or updates. Why Use This Workflow? Automates GitHub issue tracking** without manually checking repositories. Instant notifications in Telegram** ensure quick response times. Fully customizable** to fit different team workflows.

Automated Workflow Backup with Intelligent Change Detection using GitHub

Advanced n8n Workflow Sync with GitHub A robust workflow to back up and synchronize your n8n workflows to a GitHub repository, with intelligent change detection and support for file renames. 🎯 Who's it for? This workflow is for n8n administrators, developers, and power users who want a reliable, automated way to: Keep a version-controlled history of their workflows. Collaborate on workflows using GitHub's infrastructure. Prevent data loss and have a disaster recovery plan for their n8n instance. ✨ Key Features (What it does) Intelligent Sync**: Backs up all your n8n workflows to a designated GitHub repository. Human-Readable Filenames**: Saves workflows with filenames based on their actual names in n8n (e.g., My Awesome Workflow.json). Reliable Matching**: Uses the unique n8n workflow ID to reliably track files, even if their names change. Rename Detection**: If you rename a workflow in n8n, it intelligently deletes the old file and creates a new one in a single logical operation. Efficient Commits**: Commits changes to GitHub only when there are actual modifications to a workflow's logic or structure. It performs a deep comparison, ignoring metadata changes. Clear Commit History**: Generates clean, informative commit messages: create: workflowName update: workflowName rename: oldName - newName ⚙️ How It Works (Simple Steps) Get n8n Workflows: The workflow starts by fetching all your current workflows from n8n. Get GitHub Files: At the same time, it lists all existing workflow files from your GitHub repository. Compare & Decide: It then compares each n8n workflow with its GitHub counterpart. It checks if anything changed, if it was renamed, or if it's new. Take Action: If a workflow is new, it's created on GitHub. If a workflow is updated, the file content is changed on GitHub. If a workflow was renamed, the old file is deleted, and a new one is created. If nothing changed, the workflow is skipped. Send Report: Finally, it can send a summary report to Telegram about what happened. 🚀 How to Set Up Credentials: GitHub: Go to Credentials > New and add your GitHub credentials. You'll need a token with repo permissions. n8n API: In the same Credentials section, create n8n API credentials. You'll need your n8n instance's Base URL and an API key (you can create one in your n8n user settings). Telegram (Optional): If you want notifications, add your Telegram Bot credentials. Configure the Workflow: Open the Configuration node (the green one at the start). Fill in the following values: repo.owner: Your GitHub username or organization name. repo.name: The name of the repository for backups. repo.path: The folder inside the repository to store workflows (e.g., workflows/). report.tg.chatID (Optional): Your Telegram chat ID for notifications. Set to 0 to disable. report.verbose: Set to true to receive a report even if there were no changes. Connect Credentials: Select your newly created credentials in the following nodes: Get all workflows: Select your n8n API credentials. All GitHub nodes (e.g., List files, Create new file): Select your GitHub credentials. Send a message (Telegram): Select your Telegram credentials. Set the Schedule: In the Schedule Trigger node, configure how often you want the backup to run (e.g., every hour, once a day). Activate the Workflow: Save the workflow and toggle it to "Active". 🔧 How to Customize Change Report Destination**: The final part of the workflow sends a report to Telegram. You can easily replace the Send a message node with a node for Slack, Discord, or email to change where notifications go. The message is pre-formatted in the Render summary node. 💡 What's Next? (Future Updates) This workflow is actively maintained! Here's a sneak peek at what's planned for future versions: Automatic Archive Handling**: The next major update will introduce logic to automatically detect when a workflow is archived in n8n and move it to a dedicated archived/ folder in your GitHub repository, keeping your main backup directory clean. Performance Optimizations**: I'm exploring ways to reduce API traffic by intelligently checking for changes before fetching full workflow data.
