Motivation

Many Chinese developers prefer to use WeChat when they are at work, so they seldom check their emails. While GitHub only provides notifications for issues, PRs, or discussions by email, many Chinese developers may delay their response to those updates. As a result, setting up a Workflow for sending GitHub issues, PRs, or discussions updates to WeChat will bring great convenience for Chinese developers.

Features

Send GitHub issues, PRs, or discussions updates to WeChat, just like those updates sent by GitHub through emails.

Realization

This workflow is realized through several WeChat message push platforms, such as PushPlus and ServerChan, as well as the native Enterprise version of WeChat (WeCom) message push API.

The workflow uses python requests library for coding, and Docker for packaging to be used in the GitHub Actions.

Usage

You can choose a realization for pushing the messages to WeChat, and set the needed GitHub Actions secrets as the instructions here.

An example use for this workflow is here.

You can set at what event the notifications will be sent through Wechat by modifying these headers and using them in your workflow.

Then, append the following line in the steps of your workflow.

- name: 'Send GitHub Update Message to Wechat'
  uses: HollowMan6/GitHub-Issues-to-Wechat@v1
  with:
    DELAYS: ${{ secrets.DELAYS }}
    SERVERCHANSCKEY: ${{ secrets.SERVERCHANSCKEY }}
    PPTOKEN: ${{ secrets.PPTOKEN }}
    PPTOPIC: ${{ secrets.PPTOPIC }}
    CORPID: ${{ secrets.CORPID }}
    CORPSECRET: ${{ secrets.CORPSECRET }}
    AGENTID: ${{ secrets.AGENTID }}

Finally, enjoy it!
