Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Trello integrations

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

How can I integrate GitHub with Trello using Zapier?

You can integrate GitHub with Trello by creating a Zap in our platform that connects the two services. Choose a trigger from GitHub, like 'New Issue' or 'New Pull Request', and an action in Trello, such as 'Create Card' or 'Update Card', to automatically keep your development workflow in sync.

What triggers can be used from GitHub in the integration?

We offer multiple triggers for GitHub, including when a new issue is created, when there's a new pull request, when an issue is closed, and more. These events can be set to initiate actions in Trello.

What actions are available in Trello for this integration?

Actions you can perform on Trello cards include creating new cards, updating existing cards, adding comments, changing labels and moving cards between lists based on the triggers set from your GitHub account.

Is it possible to map specific fields between GitHub issues and Trello cards?

Yes, when setting up your Zap, you have the option to customize how information is transferred from a GitHub issue to a Trello card. You can map fields such as titles, descriptions, and labels to ensure the data is organized according to your team's preferences.

Can I filter which issues or pull requests trigger actions on Trello?

Definitely. We provide filtering options so you can specify which types of issues or pull requests should trigger an action. This means you could set conditions such as only triggering when an issue contains certain labels or when a pull request is assigned to specific members.

How do I authenticate my GitHub and Trello accounts with Zapier for integration?

To authenticate your accounts, log into Zapier and connect your GitHub and Trello accounts through our secure authentication process. This will allow our platform to access needed information without sharing your login credentials.

What happens if there’s an error during the integration process?
