The problem
How it works
In a short Dify video, a GitHub account is connected to Dify with OAuth and a GitHub Issue trigger starts a workflow whenever a new issue is created. An agent node reads the issue and writes a reply, and a Create Issue Comment node posts it on the issue. Dify’s documentation explains the trigger behind it: you install a GitHub trigger integration, subscribe to events such as Issue, Pull Request or Push, and either let Dify create the webhook after you authorise it or add the webhook yourself with the callback URL Dify gives you. Triggers work in Workflow apps only.
Results and limitations
This is a vendor tutorial without reported results, so it is marked planned.
Before you try it
An automatic reply goes out under your account as soon as an issue opens, so a wrong or overconfident answer is public at once; on a busy repository, consider labelling or drafting first and posting after review. Anyone can write an issue, so treat its text as untrusted input and do not give the workflow tools that change code or settings. Each integration allows up to 10 subscriptions per workspace. Results depend on your setup and were not independently reproduced by Top 200 Repos.
Tools and repositories
- Tools
- Dify · GitHub
- Prerequisites
- A Dify workspace (cloud or self-hosted) with the GitHub trigger integration and access to the repository.
Try it yourself: Write the issue-reply instructions
Fill the fields to adapt the prompt. Empty fields stay as visible [placeholders].
You reply to new issues in [Repository], a project that [What the project does]. Read the issue title and body. If it is a bug report missing [Required details], ask for them politely. If it is a question answered in [Docs URL], link the right page. Otherwise thank the author and say a maintainer will look. Never promise fixes or dates, and never include links outside [Allowed link domains].Test it on a private repository with a few sample issues before turning it on for a public one.
