In this section, we will discuss how you can integrate GitHub with Discord and automatically notify your team members of newly created GitHub issues via Discord.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link GitHub with Pabbly Connect to capture the issues, then link Pabbly Connect with Discord to share the captured issues.
Steps to Automatically Send Notifications of Newly Created GitHub Issues on Discord
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between GitHub and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
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 Discord as the Action App to Send Channel Messages
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to share the captured GitHub issues on a Discord channel. Therefore, Discord will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Discord’ as the Action App, select ‘Send Channel Message (Markdown)’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Discord Account
To connect with your Discord account, you need a Webhook URL. Follow these steps to generate the Webhook URL, copy the Webhook URL and paste it into its given field – This will establish a connection between Discord and Pabby Connect.
C. Map the Message
Now that you have connected your Discord account, all you need is to map the message to be posted from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Map the Message to be posted from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
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, the GitHub issues will be shared on your Discord channel.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated GitHub with Discord. Each time you create a new issue in GitHub, your team members will automatically be notified of that same issue on Discord.
