When a new Issue is created on GitHub, add text to a page in Notion.
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 the creation of a new issue 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 with 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 not, please proceed with the setup after registering for free.
Step 1: Connect GitHub and Notion with 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 "+ Add" and click it.
Please sign in 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.

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.
