Other Automation Examples Using GitHub and Notion

In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve various business automations by using the APIs of GitHub and Notion.
All of them can be used with simple settings, so if you find something interesting, please give it a try!

Other Automation Examples with GitHub and Notion

You can create an Issue in GitHub when a page in a specific database is created or updated, and update a GitHub Issue when a task in Notion is updated.
It is also possible to add text to a page and notify Microsoft Teams when a new Issue is created.

Example of Automation Using GitHub

Add Task to GitHub When Registered

When a task is registered, it can be automatically added to GitHub, improving the efficiency of management tasks.

Create an Issue on GitHub When a Message is Posted

Since the issue is created in a timely manner, task sharing within the team will be able to be done quickly.

Notify Missing Information with AI Analysis After Creating an Issue on GitHub

By streamlining the detection of missing information in issues through AI, the quality of issue management might be improved.

Examples of Automation Using Notion

When new information is added, add it to Notion

Adding information from quoted content will prevent manual input errors and save time.

Extract tasks due today from the Notion database daily and send a batch notification

By sending a batch notification for tasks due today, there is no need to manually notify each member, and the tasks to be done that day should become clear among the team.

Summarize Received Content and Post Messages to Add to Notion

By quickly reflecting summaries of received emails and post messages in Notion, you can expedite data management tasks.

Benefits of Integrating GitHub and Notion

Benefit 1: Streamlined Task Management

The system that automatically adds information to Notion every time a GitHub Issue is created supports the streamlining of task management.
Even if the development team and other departments use different tools, manual task transcription becomes unnecessary, reducing the risk of information leakage.
Additionally, by consolidating all tasks in Notion, it becomes easier to check progress at a glance, and communication between departments is expected to become smoother.
Reducing manual work may improve the accuracy of project management.

Benefit 2: Prevention of Update Oversights

Automatically reflecting GitHub Issue information in Notion is expected to prevent update oversights.
Typically, when tasks span multiple tools and data management is done manually, there can be oversights in transcription and updates.
This integration may eliminate that risk.
For example, even if an Issue requiring urgent attention is created, it will be quickly recorded in Notion, allowing all relevant departments to promptly check the information.
This should prevent task delays and increase response speed.

Benefit 3: Visualization of Project Progress

By automatically incorporating task information managed in GitHub into Notion, it becomes easier to grasp the overall progress of the project.
Especially in projects involving multiple teams, it may become possible to see at a glance who is responsible for which task and how far along they are.
For instance, since the priority, status, and deadlines of each Issue can be easily checked on Notion, it is expected that all team members will find it easier to share the latest information.
This smooth progression of work will likely contribute to improving the accuracy of the project.

Conclusion

By leveraging the integration of GitHub and Notion, you can expect to streamline task management and information sharing!
Reducing manual data entry and update tasks and visualizing project progress is expected to enhance the productivity of the entire team.
By advancing automation through app integration, you may be able to increase the time available to focus on strategic tasks.
