Let's Create a GitHub and Asana Integration Flow
Now, let's create a flow that integrates GitHub and Asana! We'll use Yoom to proceed with the integration of GitHub and Asana without any coding. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using this registration form.
[What is Yoom]
This time, we'll create a flow bot that adds a new GitHub issue as an Asana task! The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.
Integrate GitHub and Asana with My Apps
Copy the template
Set up the GitHub trigger and Asana action
Turn on the trigger and verify the flow operation
Step 1: Connect My Apps with GitHub and Asana
1. How to Register GitHub
Click on "My Apps" displayed on the left side of the Yoom screen. Press "Add" on the My Apps screen and search for GitHub.
Enter your "Username or Email Address" and "Password" to sign in to GitHub.
2. How to Register Asana
Similarly, click "Add" and search for Asana. When the Asana login screen appears, enter your email address and click "Continue".
Enter your password on the next screen, then click login to complete the Asana My Apps connection!
Step 2: Copy the Template
In Yoom, you can easily automate tasks by simply editing templates. To copy the template for automation settings, click "Try it" on the banner below.
When the following screen is displayed, click "OK".
Step 3: Setting the Trigger to Activate When a New Issue is Created on GitHub
First, click on the item "When a new issue is created" to set it up.
A screen to select the integration action and action will be displayed. This page is set by default, so click "Next" to proceed.
The trigger interval can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. Depending on your plan, the shortest interval for setting the trigger may vary, so be sure to check that. It is generally recommended to use the shortest trigger interval for your plan.
Set the owner name and repository name from within the GitHub URL, referring to the annotations outside the frame.
Once you have completed the setup, switch to the GitHub screen and create a new issue for testing. (Feel free to set the content of the issue!)
After creating the issue, return to the Yoom screen and run the test. If the test is successful, click "Save". The retrieved value can be entered as a value in future settings! ※ Reference: For a detailed explanation of the retrieved value, please check here.
Step 4: Add a Task to Asana
Next, let's set up the "Add Task" item for the Asana icon!
A screen to select the integration action and action will be displayed. This page is set by default, so click "Next" to proceed.
The task name is set by default. By entering it this way, when a new issue is created on GitHub, the "Issue Title" can be automatically obtained from GitHub and quote it to the Asana task name!
For the project ID and section ID, click inside the frame and select the desired ID from the displayed options.
The task description can be set freely. For example, by setting it as shown in the screen below, you can automatically retrieve "comments" from the issue created on GitHub and transcribe them into the Asana task description field.
Feel free to set the text and retrieved values according to your needs!
Once the setup is complete, run the test and then click "Save".
Step 5: Turn ON the Trigger
Finally, the following screen will be displayed. Once you press "Turn ON Trigger", the automation setup is complete! Check to see if the flowbot is activated correctly.

Until now, I have experienced sales and sales office work in the human resources industry.
Based on my experience in my previous job, I feel that the problems faced by various companies can be reduced by “automating operations.”
Through Yoom, we will continue to send out information on a daily basis so that we can solve your problems even a little bit!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
