How this flow runs

When

New Pull Request

GitHub

Then 1

Filter

Continue only if this is the contributor first pull request on the repo

Stop a run cleanly when a condition is not met. A filtered run is not a failure, so it never shows up as an error — inside a loop it skips just that item and keeps going.

Then 2

Agent

This agent carries its knowledge and memory between runs, and can call your other automations as its own tools. How custom agents work

Filter is a step you add in the builder, in the same list as an app step — there is no separate scripting surface. All automation actions

Build this flow with AI

Opens the builder with these steps already described. Free to start, no card.

Turn first-time contributors into repeat collaborators by automatically welcoming them and pointing them to the resources they need to succeed.

What's Included

  • First-PR detection: Recognizes when someone opens their very first issue or pull request.
  • Personalized greeting: Posts a friendly comment with contributing guidelines and a thank-you.
  • Maintainer heads-up: Notifies a maintainer so a real person can follow up warmly.
  • Onboarding task: Creates a Taskade checklist to track the new contributor through their first merge.

How To Use

  1. Connect your GitHub repository to Taskade.
  2. Customize the welcome message and links to your contributing docs.
  3. Choose where maintainer notifications should arrive.
  4. Enable the automation to greet every newcomer instantly.

Extend this with a community onboarding agent or explore GitHub automations to grow a healthy contributor base.
