Let us look at how you can integrate GitHub with ClickUp and automatically create tasks in ClickUp from newly created GitHub issues.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link GitHub with Pabbly Connect to capture new issues, then link Pabbly Connect with ClickUp and create new tasks using the captured issues.
Steps to Automatically Create ClickUp Tasks from GitHub Issues
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between GitHub and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup ClickUp as the Action App to Create New Tasks
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
A. Sign In / Sign Up
To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.
Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button
B. Create Workflow
To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.
Step 2:- Establish a Connection between GitHub and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between GitHub and Pabbly Connect. This will help us to fetch the newly created GitHub issues.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be GitHub.
Choose ‘GitHub’ as the Trigger App, select ‘Issues’ as a Trigger Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect GitHub Account
To connect with your GitHub account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With GitHub’. Also, grant the authorization.
Select the Owner and Repository from where you want to capture the issues, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
D. Test Connection
To test the established connection, we will create a new issue and check for the response received.
Expand the Response Received, where the details of the issue ticket you just created must be visible.
Step 3:- Setup ClickUp as the Action App to Create New Tasks
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to use the captured GitHub issues to create tasks in ClickUp. Therefore, ClickUp will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘ClickUp’ as the Action App, select ‘Create Task’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect ClickUp Account
To connect with your ClickUp account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to enter your API Token.
Login to your ClickUp account, and click on your ‘Profile Icon’ > ‘Apps’.
Copy your API Token, paste it into its give field, and click on ‘Save’.
Select your Workspace, Space, Folder Name, and List Name where you want to create the tasks.
Map the Task Name from the step above.
Similarly, map the other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, a task will be added to your ClickUp task list.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated GitHub with ClickUp. Each time you create a new GitHub issue, a task containing the issue details will automatically be added to your ClickUp account.
