Our Workflow

Creating an Issue Notifier is our first entry for the Github Actions Hackathon. It notifies the owner of the repository on Slack when someone submits/opens an issue. In addition, this project can help the maintainers to track issues that other contributors submitted. Thus, this creates more interaction for an open-source projects.

When using this project, make sure that you have your Incoming Webhook URL.
