Description
Automatically detect, classify, and document GitHub API errors using AI. This workflow connects GitHub, OpenAI (GPT-4o), Airtable, Notion, and Slack to build a real-time, searchable API error knowledge base β helping engineering and support teams respond faster, stay aligned, and maintain clean documentation. βοΈππ¬
π What This Template Does
1οΈβ£ Triggers on new or updated GitHub issues (API-related). πͺ 2οΈβ£ Extracts key fields (title, body, repo, and link). π 3οΈβ£ Classifies issues using OpenAI GPT-4o, identifying error type, category, root cause, and severity. π€ 4οΈβ£ Validates & parses AI output into structured JSON format. β 5οΈβ£ Creates or updates organized FAQ-style entries in Airtable for quick lookup. ποΈ 6οΈβ£ Logs detailed entries into Notion, maintaining an ongoing issue knowledge base. π 7οΈβ£ Notifies the right Slack team channel (DevOps, Backend, API, Support) with concise summaries. π¬ 8οΈβ£ Tracks & prevents duplicates, keeping your error catalog clean and auditable. π
