How to Automatically Add Text to a Notion Page When a New Issue is Created on GitHub

Now, I will explain how to use the no-code tool Yoom to automatically add text to a Notion page when a new issue is created on GitHub.

[What is Yoom]

How to Automatically Add Text to a Notion Page When a New Issue is Created on GitHub

This can be achieved by receiving notifications of new issues created on GitHub using GitHub's API and automatically adding the issue information to a Notion page using Notion's API. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily accomplished without programming knowledge.

We will create this in the following major processes:

• Connect GitHub and Notion to My Apps
• Copy the template
• Retrieve information from GitHub and add text to a Notion page
• Set the trigger to ON and complete the flow operation preparation

If you are registered with Yoom, please log in. If you are not registered, please proceed with the setup after registering for free.

Step 1: Connect GitHub and Notion to My Apps

First, connect GitHub and Notion. After logging into Yoom, click "My Apps" on the left side of the screen, search for GitHub from "+ New Connection," and click it.

Please perform the sign-in operation on the next page.

‍

An authentication code will be sent to the registered email address. Enter the authentication code and click "Verify" or "Confirm" to complete the GitHub connection.

Next, search for Notion with "+ New Connection."

Please perform the login operation on the next page.

After logging in, the access request screen will be displayed. Click "Select Page."

On the next page, select the Notion page to allow access and click "Allow Access" to complete the Notion connection.

Next, let's proceed with the setup using the Flowbot template. Log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.

"Template has been copied!" will be displayed, so click "OK" to complete the copy.

Step 2: Retrieve GitHub Information

Next, set up to retrieve GitHub information.
Click "When a new issue is created".

On the next page, check the "Account information to link with GitHub".
You can freely edit the title, but leave the trigger action as it is and click "Next".

Set up the API connection.
"Trigger interval" can be selected from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
*Please note that the shortest trigger interval varies depending on the plan.
Refer to the annotations and quote the "Owner name" and "Repository name" from the GitHub URL.
After setting, click "Test".

Check the GitHub information displayed in the output and click "Save".

Step 3: Add Text to Notion Page

Next, set up to add text to the Notion page.
Click "Add text to Notion page".

Edit the title as desired and check the account information, then click "Next".

Next, set up the API connection.
For "Page ID", set the page ID of the page to which you want to add text as per the annotation.
For "Content", set the text to be added to the page. By clicking the input field, you can optionally select information obtained from GitHub.
After setting, let's click "Test".

Ensure that the text has been added to the specified Notion page and check the output information, then click "Save".

Click "Turn on Trigger" to complete the flow operation setup.
Now, when a new issue is created on GitHub, text will be automatically added to the Notion page.

Other Automation Examples Using GitHub and Notion

In addition to the flow introduced this time, by using the APIs of GitHub and Notion, you can achieve automation of various tasks.
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, or 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 to GitHub When a Task is Registered

When a task is registered, it can be automatically added to GitHub, streamlining 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 likely become more efficient.

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

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

Examples of Automation Using Notion

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, potentially reducing the risk of information leakage.
Additionally, by consolidating all tasks in Notion, it becomes easier to check the 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 help prevent update oversights.
Typically, when tasks span multiple tools and data management is done manually, there can be oversights in transcribing or updating information.
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 related departments to promptly check the information.
Task delays are prevented, and the speed of response should increase.

Benefit 3: Visualization of Project Progress

By automatically importing 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 quickly see who is responsible for which task and what stage it is at.
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.
By enabling smooth work progression, it will also contribute to improving the accuracy of the project.

Conclusion

Utilizing the integration of GitHub and Notion is expected to streamline task management and information sharing!
By reducing manual data entry and update tasks and visualizing project progress, the productivity of the entire team is expected to improve.
By advancing the automation of tasks through app integration, you might be able to increase the time available to focus on strategic work.

Yoom's app integration can be easily implemented without programming. Take this opportunity to experience business efficiency improvement!
