# n8n Automated Standup
An n8n workflow that gathers your GitHub commits and Jira tickets from the past 24 hours, sends them to Claude, and emails you a conversational summary you can read aloud at standup.
## Why
The five minutes before standup cost more than the meeting itself—scrolling through commit history, clicking through Jira, trying to remember what I was doing on Friday. This workflow does the archaeology for me.
I wrote about the human side of this in [The Hidden Cost of Standup Prep](https://blog.kestrelsnest.social/posts/2025-12-20-hidden-cost-of-standup-prep/) and the technical details in [Automating Standup Prep with n8n](https://www.iinteractive.com/notebook/2025/12/18/automating-standup-prep.html).
## What it does
Every morning at 8 AM:
1. Pulls commits from GitHub (last 24 hours)
2. Pulls ticket updates from Jira (last 24 hours)
3. Merges them together
4. Sends them to Claude with a prompt asking for a natural summary
5. Emails the result
## Setup
1. Import `Jira and Github Automated Standup.json` into n8n
2. Configure credentials for GitHub, Jira, Anthropic (Claude), and your email provider
3. Adjust the schedule trigger if 8 AM doesn't work for you
4. Update the Claude prompt if you want a different tone or format
