Automate assigning GitHub issues

This workflow is ideal for:

• Project Managers: Who need to ensure that issues in GitHub are promptly assigned to the correct team members.
• Software Developers: Who want to automate the assignment process based on comments in issues, enhancing collaboration.
• Team Leads: Who are looking to streamline issue management and ensure accountability in their teams.
• Open Source Contributors: Who frequently engage with GitHub repositories and want to simplify their workflow when requesting assignments.

This workflow addresses the challenge of unassigned GitHub issues, which can lead to delays in project progress. By automating the assignment process:

• It ensures that issues are assigned to the creator or commenter, fostering accountability.
• It eliminates the manual effort of tracking and assigning issues, saving time and reducing human error.
• It enhances team collaboration by automatically notifying users when they can take action on an issue.

1. Trigger: The workflow is manually triggered when an issue is opened or created in the GitHub repository.
2. Switch Node: It checks the action type (opened or created) to determine the next steps.
3. IF No Assignee?: It checks if the issue has no assignees and if the issue body contains a request for assignment (e.g., 'Assign me').
4. Assign Issue Creator: If the conditions are met, it assigns the issue to the creator.
5. IF Wants to Work?: If the issue has comments, it checks if the comment body contains a request for assignment.
6. IF Not Assigned?: If the issue still has no assignees, it assigns the commenter.
7. Add Comment: If the commenter tries to claim an already assigned issue, it posts a comment informing them of the current assignee.
