How to integrate GitHub with Trello and add GitHub Issues to Trello
a.ohta
If you are using different task management tools for each team, why not try integrating them? For example, if the development team uses GitHub and other teams use Trello, you can add issues registered in GitHub to Trello.
By separating task management tools by purpose, it becomes easier to conduct more detailed business management. However, if the content needs to be communicated to the entire project, it must be transcribed to other tools as well. While it's not a particularly difficult task, doing it every time can feel surprisingly cumbersome for many people.
This integration is here to solve such problems. <span class="mark-yellow">By implementing automation using GitHub and Trello, efficient task management should become possible.</span> Task management can be said to be the key to smoothly advancing work. Especially to smoothly carry out the progress of the entire project, collaboration between teams is a must. Please give it a try!
Benefits of Integrating GitHub and Trello
Benefit 1: Elimination of Redundant Work
When the development team adds an issue, if it is content related 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. Opening different tools and entering data is not a particularly difficult task, but doing it every time may feel a bit cumbersome. With this integration, if the issue created in GitHub is automatically added to Trello, you will be freed from such redundant work.
Benefit 2: Efficient Task Management
The flow related to task management for the development team is simplified. Since input work is eliminated, it will save time. If the time that can be devoted to development increases, you should be able to focus more on your work. Efficient task management like this may make it easier for the core business to proceed smoothly. Additionally, sharing tasks with other teams becomes easier, and the outlook for the project is expected to improve. Furthermore, by automatically adding cards to Trello, communication omissions should also be prevented. This will also lead to the promotion of communication.

Other Automation Examples Using GitHub and Trello
There are many other examples of automation with GitHub and Trello on Yoom, so here are a few introductions.
1. Add to GitHub when a card is registered in Trello This flow bot will be the reverse version. It will make it easier to reflect the tasks of the entire project in GitHub, which is used by the development team.
2. When an issue is created on GitHub, add a task to Jira Software If it's collaboration between development teams, how about GitHub×Jira Software? It's also recommended for large-scale development.
3. Once Trello is launched, add Trello information to Google Sheets It is possible to automatically transfer Trello cards to Google Sheets. This will make detailed task management and editing easier.

After working as a general store manager, I started working from home as an SEO writer. Later, an outsourcing agreement was signed with a marketing startup for about 5 years.
Surrounded by students at the University of Tokyo, I held a computer and spent my days studying various business terms and how to use SaaS tools.
When I was a general store manager, time was taken over and over again by office work such as sales and inventory management, human resource management, and ordering, etc., and I was unable to serve customers and often missed sales times. Even when outsourcing, there are many detailed tasks such as input, etc., and “can't such monotonous tasks be automated?” I thought so, and I really sympathize with Yoom's vision!
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
