Quick overview

This workflow runs hourly to monitor one or more GitHub repositories’ public releases feeds and sends a single grouped alert to a Telegram chat when it detects new releases.

How it works

  1. Runs every hour on a schedule.
  2. Reads your comma-separated watch list and turns each GitHub repository into its releases.atom feed URL.
  3. Fetches the latest entries from each repository’s public GitHub releases RSS/Atom feed, continuing even if one feed fails.
  4. Filters out pre-releases (unless enabled), detects which release entries are new since the last run, and formats a grouped Telegram message including title, date, notes excerpt, and link.
  5. Splits output to stay under Telegram’s message size limit and remembers which release IDs were successfully sent so they are not re-sent on later runs.
  6. Sends the formatted release alerts to your Telegram chat using HTML parse mode with link previews disabled.

Setup

  1. Create a Telegram bot with @BotFather and add its token as Telegram credentials in the Telegram node.
  2. Get your Telegram chat ID and set it in the watch list configuration.
  3. Update the repository list in the watch list configuration using owner/repo (or full GitHub URLs) and optionally enable pre-releases and adjust the release-notes excerpt length.
  4. Activate the workflow and keep in mind it stores seen release IDs in n8n workflow static data between runs.
