Github → OpenAI → GitHub

A new GitHub issue is classified by OpenAI (bug, question, feature...) and the result is left as a comment on the issue.

Steps

When when a new github issue is opened — Github node only reads
Then classify it with openai — OpenAI node can be undone
Then add a comment on the issue — GitHub node can’t be undone

Fields to fill (6)

The file has every node wired up. These are the blanks only you can fill (your form, your sheet, your words).

Node	What to do
Github	fill `owner` (Repository Owner)
Github	fill `repository` (Repository Name)
OpenAI	fill `modelId` (Model)
GitHub	fill `owner` (Repository Owner)
GitHub	fill `repository` (Repository Name)
GitHub	fill `body` (what it should say) — the AI step's output: run that node once in n8n and pick its output field

Accounts to connect (3)

In n8n, pick or add a credential on each node — one of the types below.

Github: githubApi or githubOAuth2Api or githubAppApi
OpenAI: openAiApi
GitHub: githubApi or githubOAuth2Api or githubAppApi

Need something slightly different? Same engine, your own words:

Run it on Apify — type your own sentence, get the workflow back in seconds. Open Bridgecore on Apify (pay per use, $0.02–$0.05; nothing charged on errors).
Ask your AI — add the MCP server https://mcp.usebridgecore.com/ to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, then just say what should happen. Tools: do, find_recipe, plan_automation, make_n8n_workflow. Free to plan.
Ask me first — add “and ask me first” to any step (“… and post it on X and ask me first”) and the workflow sends you an Approve / Decline message (Slack, Telegram or Gmail) before that step runs. Nothing is sent, posted, deleted or paid until you tap Approve; no answer in a day = declined.

Get the n8n file

Download github-issue-classify-comment.json

Open a new, empty workflow in n8n.
Open the workflow menu (⋯) and choose Import from File — or copy the JSON below and paste it onto the canvas (Ctrl/Cmd+V).
Connect the accounts, fill the fields above, run one test, then turn the workflow on.

Or copy the JSON
