GitHub Issue Intake Router

Turn a plain-language automation request into a GitHub issue in the repository your team already uses. This is a small, dependable pattern for routing requests into an actionable engineering backlog.

What this workflow does

  1. IssueRequest accepts the requested work and context
  2. CreateGitHubIssue opens an issue in the configured repository
  3. IssueCreated returns the issue reference from GitHub

Use cases

  • Service desk requests that should become engineering tasks
  • Feedback-to-backlog handoffs
  • Internal operational requests with an auditable GitHub record

Setup

Create a GitHub credential with access to the target repository. Set the owner, repository, default title, and optional assignee on CreateGitHubIssue. You can replace the text input with Slack, email, or an HTTP trigger later.

Notes

Use a repository-specific template or an LLM before the GitHub node when you need richer issue titles, labels, or acceptance criteria. Keep the credential scoped to only the repositories this automation should create issues in.
