GitHub Trigger

---

Description

The GitHub Trigger node allows you to automatically start a workflow in Deforge whenever a specific event occurs in a connected GitHub repository. By automatically configuring webhooks behind the scenes, this node listens for repository activity and wakes up your AI agents or automations in real-time. You can configure this node to listen to a specific event, such as:

1. Pull Requests: Trigger a flow when a PR is opened, closed, edited, or merged.
2. Issues & Comments: Start automations when a user opens a new bug report, or when someone leaves a comment on an existing issue.
3. Code Pushes: Run a workflow every time new commits are pushed to the repository.
4. Repository Engagement: Trigger flows when a new release is published, or when another user stars or forks your repository.

Common Use Cases

• Building an autonomous AI code reviewer that gets triggered on new Pull Requests, reads the diffs, and automatically posts review comments.
• Creating an AI triage agent that reads newly opened issues, categorizes them, and alerts your development team in Slack or Discord.
• Triggering automated documentation generation or deployment pipelines whenever code is pushed to the main branch.
• Sending a welcome message or automated response via the GitHub: Add Comment node whenever a user opens their first issue.
