Set your trigger interval (frequency of sync) on how frequently Yoom checks GitHub for updates. It can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. We recommend setting the trigger to the shortest activation interval available for your plan.

Click “Test”. If successful, click “Save”.
Step 4: Configure Discord Action
Click on the Discord action step labeled, "Send a message" under the Discord icon. Give your action a name (anything you like). Select your Discord account, and check the default settings. If there are no issues, click “Next”.
Specify the Channel ID (where you want to receive notifications about new GitHub issues). Follow the instructions provided below the input box to enter the Channel ID correctly.
Set the content of the message you want to send to Discord by clicking inside the message box. The GitHub test data you sent earlier will be displayed in the retrieved value list. Click on the data you want to include in the Discord message. After clicking the data you want to send, it will be added into the message box like below. If you want to include other information, you can add it.
📚 Reference: For more details on retrieved values and how to set it up, see the guide here.
Customize your message layout. This will make your Discord notifications easier to read :) Once your message is ready, click the “test” button. If successful, your setup is complete.
Step 5: Activate the Flowbot

After working as a manager at a general store, I began working from home as an SEO writer. Later, I entered into a freelance contract with a marketing startup for about five years. Surrounded by University of Tokyo students, I spent my days learning various business terminologies and how to use SaaS tools. During my time as a store manager, I was often overwhelmed by administrative tasks such as sales and inventory management, personnel management, and ordering, which frequently prevented me from engaging with customers and caused me to miss sales opportunities. Even during my freelance work, I found myself bogged down with repetitive tasks like data entry and often thought, "Can't these monotonous tasks be automated?" Therefore, I strongly resonate with Yoom's vision!
