"I have too many tasks to manage..." "It's a hassle to check both GitHub and ClickUp..."
The solution to these problems is the automatic integration of GitHub and ClickUp! For example, you can create a system where tasks are automatically registered in ClickUp when you create an issue or pull request in GitHub. This eliminates the need for manual task registration, making progress management much smoother. It also prevents transcription errors and overlooked tasks.
In this article, we will specifically introduce the automation flow that can be achieved by integrating GitHub and ClickUp. If you're considering improving work efficiency, be sure to check it out!
For those who want to try it as soon as possible
By using Yoom, you can easily integrate GitHub and ClickUp without any code.
Yoom provides templates for integration in advance, so you can achieve integration immediately just by registering, even without API knowledge.
When an issue is created on GitHub, create a task in ClickUp.
■Overview If you use both GitHub and ClickUp in a development project, manually creating a task every time an Issue is created is time-consuming and can lead to missed follow-ups. This burden tends to grow especially when managing multiple repositories. By using this workflow, when a new Issue is created on GitHub, a task is automatically created in ClickUp, addressing these challenges and streamlining project management.
■Recommended for ・Developers who use GitHub and ClickUp together and find manual task creation burdensome ・Project managers who want to prevent missed Issue handling and make task management more efficient ・Team leaders considering automation mechanisms that improve development team productivity
■Notes ・Please connect Yoom with both GitHub and ClickUp. ・You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. ・Please note that the minimum interval varies by plan.
By integrating the APIs of GitHub and ClickUp, you can automatically sync GitHub data with ClickUp! For example, you can automatically perform data synchronization like the following without human intervention.

Let's Create a Flow to Integrate GitHub and ClickUp
Now, let's actually create a flow that integrates GitHub and ClickUp! We'll be using Yoom to proceed with the integration of GitHub and ClickUp without any code, so if you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using the link below.
[What is Yoom]
This time, we will create a flow bot that creates a task in ClickUp when an issue is created in GitHub! The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.
Register GitHub and ClickUp as My Apps
Copy the template
Set up the GitHub trigger that initiates the flow and the subsequent ClickUp action
Turn on the trigger button and start the flow bot

By utilizing APIs like Backlog and Salesforce, various automations can be achieved.
Automation Examples Using GitHub
You can automatically analyze the content of GitHub Issues with ChatGPT or automatically notify communication tools when a new GitHub Issue is created.
Add new or updated GitHub issues to a Google Spreadsheet.
■Overview Every time a new Issue is created on GitHub, understanding its content and determining its priority is a time-consuming task. Especially when many issues occur simultaneously, you may overlook important information or fall behind in response. By using this workflow, the creation of a new Issue triggers ChatGPT to automatically analyze its content and add a comment, which speeds up understanding of the Issue and leads to a more efficient development process.
■Recommended for ・Project managers who spend a lot of time managing Issues on GitHub ・Those who want to leverage ChatGPT to streamline the initial handling of the development process ・Development teams that want to prevent missed manual checks of Issues and delays in response
■Notes ・Please connect Yoom with both GitHub and ChatGPT. ・You can select the trigger interval at 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. ・The minimum interval varies by plan, so please be aware. ・To execute ChatGPT (OpenAI) actions, you need a paid OpenAI API plan (your account must be able to make payments when the API is used). https://openai.com/ja-JP/api/pricing/ ・Use of the ChatGPT API is provided by OpenAI as a paid service and is billed based on tokens used for API calls. Therefore, please note that an error will occur if payment cannot be made when using the API.
It is possible to automatically sync task due dates registered in ClickUp with Google Calendar and to automatically create tasks in ClickUp based on content posted in Slack.
Automatically create tasks in ClickUp from content posted on Slack.
■Overview The "Automatically create tasks in ClickUp from content posted on Slack" workflow seamlessly integrates team communication and task management. By automatically registering shared information on Slack as tasks in ClickUp, it reduces manual input work and improves operational efficiency. This integration using Yoom allows for a quick transition from daily communication to concrete tasks, making project management smoother.
■Recommended for ・Team leaders who use both Slack and ClickUp and find task creation cumbersome ・Project managers who want to unify communication and task management to improve operational efficiency ・Those aiming for business improvement through automation by realizing "ClickUp Slack integration" using Yoom ・Administrators who want to reduce human errors associated with manual task input ・Executives considering workflow automation to enhance team productivity
■Notes ・Please integrate both Slack and ClickUp with Yoom. ・Triggers can be set to activate at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. ・Please note that the shortest activation interval varies depending on the plan.
■Overview This flow adds the due dates of tasks registered in ClickUp to Google Calendar. With Yoom, you can integrate apps without programming, making it easy to implement this flow.
■Who we recommend this template for 1. Those who manage tasks in ClickUp ・Project managers engaged in administrative operations ・Those who also integrate ClickUp information with other tools
2. Projects that use Google Calendar in their operations ・Those who manage task due dates in Google Calendar ・Those who share tasks within the team via Google Calendar
■Notes ・Please connect both ClickUp and Google Calendar with Yoom. ・When creating a flow bot with more than 5 operations, it can be configured on the Mini plan or higher. On the Free plan, the flow bot will not run, so please be aware.
■Overview As you use ClickUp and Microsoft Excel in your daily work, are you spending a lot of time on manual task management and data entry? With this workflow, when a new task is created in ClickUp, its information is automatically added to Microsoft Excel. This eliminates manual entry of task progress and details, improving operational efficiency.
■Recommended for ・Project managers who use ClickUp for task management and want to organize that data in Microsoft Excel ・Team leaders who manually add task information to Microsoft Excel and want to save time ・IT staff who want to promote business automation using ClickUp and Microsoft Excel
■Notes ・Please connect Yoom with both ClickUp and Microsoft Excel. ・Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) has consumer and general business plans (Microsoft 365 Business). If you are not subscribed to a general business plan, authentication may fail. ・For settings on operations that manipulate Microsoft Excel databases, please see the following. https://intercom.help/yoom/en/articles/9003081 ・ClickUp's date-time output is a 13-digit UNIX timestamp (milliseconds). When transferring to Microsoft Excel, you can change the date-time notation by using functions, etc. Below is an example of converting it to Japan Standard Time (JST) format. Note that you need to apply any date-time format to the target column in Microsoft Excel in advance. =((({Due date or other date-time output}/1000)/86400)+DATE(1970,1,1))+(9/24)
How was it? By integrating GitHub and ClickUp, you can smoothly solve issues such as "wanting to prevent task registration errors," "wanting to make progress management more efficient," and "wanting to reduce waste in development tasks."
