Import into n8n

  1. Download the n8n JSON file (full or sanitized).
  2. In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
  3. Open each node and reconnect credentials to your accounts.
  4. Test with manual execution before enabling triggers.

Sanitized JSON removes credential IDs — safer for sharing. Flow graph JSON is OpenRuna's lightweight format for diagrams and other tools, not n8n import.

Overview

Free n8n workflow: Automate assigning GitHub issues. 10 nodes across switch, github, with a downloadable JSON and a visual flow diagram on OpenRuna.

What this workflow does

"Automate assigning GitHub issues" is an n8n automation built from 10 nodes spanning switch, github. 10 nodes · switch, github A scheduled/triggered entry point kicks it off, and each node passes data to the next until the run completes. OpenRuna shows the full flow diagram, an integration breakdown, and a one-click JSON export for n8n's "Import from file". Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.

Use cases

  • Use it as a starting template when wiring switch, github — adjust node parameters to your accounts and record IDs.
  • Import "Automate assigning GitHub issues" into n8n, reconnect credentials for switch, github, and run the same automation in your own workspace.
  • Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the switch stack.
  • Study how data moves from switch to github before building your own variant.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Automate assigning GitHub issues" exposes 10 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: switch, github. Reconnect the switch credential first, then walk the remaining nodes top to bottom. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.

Tips by platform

Claude

Paste the exported JSON for "Automate assigning GitHub issues" into Claude and ask it to explain each of the 10 nodes. Claude is good at suggesting credential mappings for switch, github, plus error-handling and idempotency improvements before you run it in production.

ChatGPT

Have ChatGPT generate a checklist for adapting "Automate assigning GitHub issues" to your accounts — which switch, github credentials to create and which node parameters to change first.

Cursor

Open the downloaded JSON in Cursor and use Agent mode to refactor hard-coded URLs into env vars, or to generate tests for any Code nodes. Keep the OpenRuna flow diagram open so you do not break connection order across the 10 nodes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I import "Automate assigning GitHub issues" into n8n?
Click Download n8n JSON on this page, then in n8n choose Workflows → Import from file and select the downloaded file. Reconnect credentials on each node — the export carries credential IDs from the original author's instance, not working secrets.
Which integrations does "Automate assigning GitHub issues" use?
It uses: switch, github. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 10 nodes. Filter OpenRuna by integration to find related workflows and tools.
Can I import a sanitized export without credentials?
Yes. Use "Download sanitized JSON" to strip credential references before sharing internally. You will still add your own switch and github credentials in n8n after import.
What trigger type does "Automate assigning GitHub issues" use?
Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. After import, confirm the trigger node (webhook, schedule, or app event) matches your environment, then activate the workflow when you are ready to run it.
Is "Automate assigning GitHub issues" free to use?
