What problem does this workflow solve

This workflow automates the process of checking GitHub notifications every 1 minute and sends updates to a specified Discord channel. It eliminates the need for manual checking of notifications, ensuring that users are promptly informed about important activities, thus enhancing communication and productivity.

Detailed explanation of the workflow process

1. Trigger: The workflow starts with a Cron node that triggers every 1 minute.
2. Get Date: A Function node calculates the timestamp for 1 minute ago and stores it.
3. Fetch Issues: The workflow then makes an HTTP request to the GitHub API to fetch notifications since the calculated timestamp using the @Get Issue node.
4. Process Notifications: The fetched notifications are processed in another Function node, which formats the notifications into a readable message.
5. Conditional Check: An IF node checks if there are any notifications to report.
6. Send to Discord: If there are notifications, a message is sent to a specified Discord channel, tagging a user for visibility.
