Benefits of Integrating Github and Slack

Isn't it possible that the lack of regular checks on project progress could lead to misunderstandings among team members or delays in progress?

By integrating Github and Slack, you can solve such problems. For example, by automatically notifying the creation of new issues in real-time, you can respond quickly and eliminate the need to manually share information, thus preventing information sharing omissions. Furthermore, real-time automatic notifications can shorten the cycle time from sharing project progress to receiving prompt feedback.

Additionally, by centrally managing notifications and discussions on Slack, you can visualize who is doing what and which tasks are in progress, making it easier to grasp the overall productivity of the team. Avoiding the hassle of switching between multiple tools and consolidating information is another advantage.

Integrating Github and Slack can lead to more efficient project management, improved communication, and increased work speed.

How to Notify Slack When an Issue is Created in Github

In this article, we will introduce how to set up a flow to notify Slack when an issue is created in Github using Yoom.

Using Yoom allows you to centrally manage multiple apps, which is a great point for improving work efficiency.

First, we will explain in detail how to integrate Yoom with each app, so please refer to it.

Then, you will transition to a screen to select the app.

Here, we will proceed with the settings from Github, so select Github.

Verify that the linked account information is correct and select the trigger action "When a new issue is created".

Once selected, click the "Next" button at the bottom of the screen.

Next, set the API connection settings for the app trigger.

The trigger activation interval can be set as desired. Here, it is set to 5 minutes.

The "Owner Name" and "Repository Name" can be obtained from the Github URL.

The URL structure is "https://github.com/{OwnerName}/{RepositoryName}/issues/{IssueNumber}".

Once this is done, the Github trigger setup is complete!

Step 3: Set an Action to Notify Slack

Next, select the + mark below the Github app trigger.

Then, a screen to select the operation type will be displayed, so select "Integrate with App".

__wf_reserved_inherit

This time, since we want to notify Slack, select Slack and proceed with the action selection just like with Github.

First, verify that the linked account information is correct, then select the action item "Send a message to a channel" and click the "Next" button.

The message to be sent can be set as desired. This time, I set it so that the issue title and URL from Github are known.

Summary

In this article, we provided a detailed explanation of how to integrate Github with Slack and how to configure Yoom.

Some of you might have been surprised by the number of apps that can be integrated when you saw the options for registering your app and selecting trigger apps.

The appeal of Yoom is its ability to integrate with various apps and manage them centrally on Yoom, eliminating the need to switch between apps, which is incredibly convenient.

In this article, we sent notifications to Slack, but you can also add content to Google Sheets or send notifications to Microsoft Teams.

You can also make use of the templates provided by Yoom, so be sure to take advantage of them!

s.yamashita
I worked as an SV in the BPO division of a listed company for 4 years and experienced editing and writing media articles for about 3 and a half years. I had the opportunity to use a wide variety of apps due to my job being in charge of outsourced work from other companies. I still remember getting to know Yoom when I was worried about how to improve work efficiency, and I was moved by being able to easily link apps with each other to create an automated flow! I would be happy if I could help improve everyone's work efficiency by making use of my experience working on media articles and conveying the appeal of Yoom in an easy-to-understand manner.

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
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.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
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.
