Every day, find open issues that have gone quiet and loop through them, posting a gentle reminder comment on each — so nothing rots in the backlog.

How it works

Every step, explained

Import the template and this whole chain runs on autopilot — here's exactly what happens on each run.

Schedule → GitHub → Iterator
4 steps
Schedule
TRIGGER
Schedule · Every Day
This workflow runs on a schedule (Every Day) — it starts on its own at the interval and time you set in the Schedule trigger. No incoming event is needed.
GitHub
ACTION
GitHub · Search Issues and Pull Requests
GitHub runs its "Search Issues and Pull Requests" action using data mapped from earlier steps. Connect your GitHub account on import and it's live.
Iterator
LOGIC
Iterator · Loop Through Array
The Iterator loops over the list from the previous step and runs the following actions once for every item in it.
GitHub
ACTION
GitHub · Create Comment on Issue
GitHub runs its "Create Comment on Issue" action using data mapped from earlier steps. Connect your GitHub account on import and it's live.
