"I created an issue on GitHub, but no one noticed and it was left unattended..." Have you ever had such an experience? Even if the development team uses GitHub, if the project manager or designer is using Notion, tasks can become fragmented. This can lead to poor collaboration and inefficiency.
So, this time, we will introduce a method to automate the integration of GitHub and Notion, simplifying issue creation and data management in Notion! By utilizing this integration, you can centrally manage tasks, making it easier for the entire team, including engineers, managers, and designers, to grasp progress.
Moreover, this app integration can be easily implemented without programming. Even beginners can set it up easily, so take this opportunity to give it a try!
For those who want to try it as soon as possible
By using Yoom, you can easily integrate GitHub and Notion with no code. Yoom provides templates for integrating Slack and Wrike in advance, so you can achieve integration immediately just by registering, even without API knowledge.

By integrating GitHub and Notion, it is expected that the management and creation of tasks that should be shared within the team will become smoother! Tasks that were previously done manually, such as task creation and transcription to Notion, can be simplified, allowing the entire process to be completed more quickly than doing it manually.
Additionally, Yoom offers many templates beyond the automation introduced this time! If you can easily integrate the apps you use regularly, a stress-free workflow might be achievable...!
Furthermore, since no programming is required for integration, it is easy to implement, and it is a pleasant point that you can set it up smoothly even without specialized knowledge!
I worked as a customer support representative at a web marketing company for about three years. I spent a lot of time managing customer information and internal data, which was quite challenging until I discovered Yoom. I strongly feel that I wish I had encountered Yoom, which is easy to use even without programming knowledge, much earlier. I hope it can be of assistance to others who are struggling with similar efficiency issues in their work!
