Automatically Send and Forward GitHub Data to Chat Tools
This is a flow for sending and forwarding GitHub data to chat applications like Slack. Notifications will promptly reach the entire team, enabling smooth communication.

GitHub is an extremely useful tool for engineers, but have you ever missed a new issue or pull request?
That said, manually notifying or asking someone to notify every time an issue is added or updated can be a bit daunting...
The solution to this problem is automation of tasks using GitHub! By utilizing the API, you can integrate GitHub with chat tools or email tools, allowing for automatic notifications and messages when new issues are added or pull requests are updated!
If you can implement automation that automatically notifies chat tools or email tools of added or updated data, information sharing will become smoother, and you should be able to prevent any oversights in tasks.
In this article, we will specifically introduce how to implement automation using GitHub. If you are considering improving work efficiency, be sure to check it out!
Yoom offers templates for automating workflows using GitHub! If you want to try it right away, click the banner below to get started!
There are several ways to automatically send and forward GitHub data. We've picked out a few methods for you to check out!
You can experience automatic GitHub updates right away by simply clicking "Try it out" on the automation example you're interested in and registering an account. Registration takes just 30 seconds, so feel free to give it a try!
This flow automatically sends GitHub data to email apps like Outlook. You can receive notifications promptly when a new issue arises, reducing the risk of missing any actions.
This is a flow for sending and forwarding GitHub data to chat applications like Slack. Notifications will promptly reach the entire team, enabling smooth communication.
Let's get started by creating a flow to automatically notify GitHub data!
This time, we'll proceed with the setup using Yoom, a no-code platform. If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please create one using this registration form.
[What is Yoom]
This time, we will create a flow bot that "sends an email via Gmail when an issue is created on GitHub"!
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps:
Here, we will connect Yoom with each app to enable operations.
[GitHub My App Connection]
1. After logging into Yoom, click on My Apps on the left side of the Yoom page screen, and select "+ Add" on the right.
2. Enter "GitHub" in the search box at the top right and select GitHub from the search results.
3. When the following screen appears, enter your email address and password, and click "Sign in".
3. Enter the authentication code on the following screen and click "Verify".
This completes the connection with GitHub!
[Gmail My App Connection]
1. Next, register Gmail with My Apps.
Follow the same steps as before, click the "+ Add" button on Yoom's My Page, and select "Gmail".
2. When you select Gmail, the following screen will appear.
When the following screen appears, press "Sign in with Google".
3. Select the account you want to connect this time.
When the screen transitions, click "Next".
4. You will be asked to select the information Yoom can access, so click "Select All".
Once the checkboxes are checked in blue, select "Continue" at the bottom of the page.
This completes the registration of Gmail with My Apps.
If GitHub and Gmail are displayed in My Apps, the registration is complete!
Now, let's start creating the flow!
We use templates for easy setup, so log in to Yoom and click "Try it" on the banner below.
The template will be automatically copied to your workspace, so please click "OK" on the next screen.
This is the initial setup! From here, we will set up a flowbot that sends an email via Gmail when an issue is created on GitHub.
1. Please click the "When a new Issue is created".
2. This page is already set up.
Check if the account information is correct and click "Next".
3. Next, when the following screen appears, enter the required fields.
4. You can choose the trigger activation interval from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. A shorter setting is generally recommended!
Please note that the shortest activation interval varies depending on the plan.
5. For "Owner Name" and "Repository Name", refer to the description below the input fields and enter the information.
6. Before conducting the test, switch to the GitHub screen and create an issue. The following image is an example setting.
※ The test will not succeed if it is not created on GitHub. Please be careful.
7. Once the setup is complete, conduct a test.
If the test is successful, you can obtain the output. Since the output will be used in the subsequent settings, please ensure there are no mistakes.
8. If there are no issues, click "Save".
This completes the GitHub setup!
This is the final setup! Here, we will set up notifications to Gmail.
1. Please click the "Send Email".
2. Verify that the account information to be linked is correct. The title is set by default, so no changes are necessary.
3. Scroll down to see the following screen. Enter the required fields and feel free to configure the rest as you like.
4. In the "Body" setting, it is configured using the output that appears when you click the input field.
5. Once the input is complete, click "Next".
6. When the following screen appears, check the "Email Content" and click "Test".
6. If the test is successful, "Test Successful" will be displayed, so click "Save".
Finally, check Gmail. The email should have been sent as shown below.
It was sent successfully!
Once the setup is complete, the following menu will be displayed.
Click "Turn on the trigger" to automatically start the flowbot.
Thank you for your hard work!
This was the method for sending an email via Gmail when an issue is created on GitHub!
Yoom has many other templates for automation using GitHub!
Please explore to see if there are any automation examples with apps you are familiar with.
By implementing GitHub automation, you can expect smoother management of tasks that need to be shared and easier detection of new tasks!
Notifications and sending tasks that were previously done manually can be simplified, allowing the entire process to be completed more quickly than doing it manually.
Additionally, Yoom offers many templates beyond the automation introduced this time! If you can easily implement automation for the apps you regularly use, a stress-free workflow might be achievable…!
Furthermore, since no programming is required for integration, it is easy to implement, and it is a pleasant point that you can set it up smoothly even without specialized knowledge.
Take this opportunity to reduce your workload and create a comfortable working environment by registering with Yoom now and implementing automation!
