Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Things integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitHub and Things

How do I set up an integration between GitHub and Things?

To set up an integration between GitHub and Things, you'll need to use our platform to create a Zap. Start by selecting GitHub as your trigger app and Things as your action app. You'll configure a trigger event like 'New Issue' from GitHub and an action event such as 'Create Task' in Things.

Can I be notified in Things when a new issue is created in my GitHub repository?

Yes, you can configure the integration to notify you in Things whenever a new issue is created in your GitHub repository. Set up the 'New Issue' trigger from GitHub and pair it with the 'Create Task' or 'Post Notification' action in Things.

Is it possible to track pull requests from GitHub within my Things tasks?

Absolutely! You can integrate GitHub pull requests with Things by setting up a trigger for 'Pull Request Opened' in GitHub and an action like 'Add To-Do Item' or 'Log Activity' in Things.

What information from a GitHub issue can be transferred to a task in Things?

You can transfer various details from a GitHub issue, including the title, body, labels, and assignee information into your Things tasks. Customize which fields should be included when setting up your Zap.

How does the integration handle updates to issues on GitHub?

We handle updates by offering a trigger event such as 'Issue Updated.' When this is triggered on GitHub, you can choose actions such as updating an existing task or adding comments within the corresponding task on Things.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of when integrating Github with Things?

While most features are supported, note that real-time updates may not always occur instantly due to sync intervals. Additionally, some complex data types may not map directly between platforms without custom handling.

Can I automatically close tasks in Things when an issue is closed on Github?

Yes, you can automate closing tasks by setting up a 'Issue Closed' trigger on Github paired with the 'Complete Task' action on Things. This ensures automation of workflows between platforms.
