GitHub Issue Create

Overview

The GitHub Issue Create node creates a new issue in a specified GitHub repository using the GitHub API. It requires a GitHub personal access token or OAuth credential with repo scope. On success it emits the created issue's metadata (number, URL, ID) on the output port; on failure it routes to the error port with the API error details. Use this node to programmatically file issues from battle results, workflow failures, or AI-generated findings.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Description
credential	string	Yes	ID of the stored GitHub credential (personal access token or OAuth app token) with repo scope.
owner	string	Yes	GitHub repository owner — a user login or organization name (e.g. acme-org).
repo	string	Yes	Repository name without the owner prefix (e.g. backend-api).
title	string	Yes	Issue title. Supports template variables (e.g. {{input.title}}).
body	string	No	Issue body in Markdown. Supports template variables.
labels	string	No	Comma-separated list of label names to apply (e.g. bug,automated). Labels that do not exist in the repository are silently ignored by the GitHub API.

milestone	number	No	Milestone number to associate with the issue. Must already exist in the repository.
