Other Automation Examples Using GitHub and Trello

In addition to the flow introduced this time, you can achieve various business automations by using the APIs of GitHub and Trello.
Both can be used with simple settings, so if there is something that interests you, please give it a try!

Automation Examples Using GitHub

Notify When a Pull Request is Created or Updated on GitHub

You can skip the manual notification process, and smooth quality proposals for code can be made through prompt feedback.

Add information to GitHub when a specific action is performed

By streamlining the process of adding tasks to GitHub, you can focus on other tasks, leading to improvements in response speed and quality.

Close GitHub Issues Based on Status Updates

This saves the effort of manually closing issues and enables accurate issue management.

Example of Automation Using Trello

Add When a Card is Registered in Trello

By automatically adding information from Trello, you may save time on manual entry and allocate more time to other tasks.

Register a Card on Trello When a Message is Posted

A card is automatically created on Trello based on the notification content, so those who were manually creating cards can reduce the effort of doing it by hand.

Add a card to Trello once the information is registered

It can be done using the information quoted for registration to Trello, which seems to help avoid human errors such as input mistakes or omissions.

Benefits of Integrating GitHub and Trello

Benefit 1: Elimination of Redundant Work

When the development team adds an issue, if it is relevant to the entire project, the same content will be transcribed to Trello.
This makes it easier to understand the progress and facilitates collaboration with other teams.

However, there will be the hassle of entering the same content twice.
While opening different tools and entering data is not a particularly difficult task, it can become a bit tedious if it happens every time.
With this integration, if the issue created in GitHub is automatically added to Trello, it seems we can be freed from such redundant work.

Benefit 2: Efficient Task Management

The flow related to task management for the development team is simplified.
Skipping the input work will save time. If the time devoted to development increases, you should be able to focus more on your work.
Efficient task management like this may make it easier for core tasks to proceed smoothly.

Additionally, it is expected that sharing tasks with other teams will become easier, and the outlook for the project will improve.
Furthermore, automatically adding cards to Trello should prevent communication gaps.
This will likely also lead to the promotion of communication.

Conclusion

If you add an issue to GitHub and then also add a card to Trello, it becomes redundant work.
Spending time on task management to conduct business smoothly is not efficient.

This automation can solve such disadvantages!

Even a small amount of time, if accumulated daily, can lead to resource savings.
Why not take this opportunity to introduce automation and streamline your workflow?
