GitHub Actions workflows for office automation

Newsletter draft

This workflow runs on the second Wednesday of every month. It composes a draft for the monthly newsletter from Digitale Gesellschaft Schweiz using generative AI and writes the result to a new page in our Confluence instance.

The workflow is defined in .github/workflows/newsletter_draft.yml.

• It executes the Bash script mise-tasks/newsletter_draft.sh via mise run newsletter_draft. The script executes a Codename Goose recipe stored under .goose/recipes/newsletter_draft.yaml.
• It uses a cron schedule 0 0 * * 3 (every Wednesday) and then filters for the second Wednesday (days 8-14 of the month).
• It can be manually triggered from GitHub's Actions tab (e.g. for testing) with the option to provide a custom set of ARTICLE_LINKS¹. To be able to manually trigger the workflow, one's GitHub user must be granted sufficient access rights (ask @datenreisen).

Configuration

Edit the Goose recipe .goose/recipes/newsletter_draft.yaml, Goose's memories in .goose/memory/ and the environment variables in config.env.yaml to customize the task execution. Note that the script automatically determines suitable ARTICLE_LINKS if none are provided.
