Summary: A GitHub marketing lead documents an event-operations system that treats an Issue as the unit of work, structured issue forms as inputs, labels as triggers, and GitHub Actions as the machinery. The workflow stages landing pages, tracking links, invitations, boards, registrant checks, follow-up, and reporting while retaining human and platform guardrails.

Why it matters: This is an unusually concrete knowledge-work automation pattern: write the process down, make inputs structured, keep the work record visible, and automate repetitive transitions. It is one practitioner implementation rather than a comparative study, and credentials, CRM writes, error paths, approvals, and maintenance still require explicit ownership.

What to do now

Automate one visible handoff: Start with a structured intake form and one reversible trigger, then add approval, logging, and retry before expanding the workflow.
