"I want to avoid the hassle of entering tasks added to Notion into GitHub." "It's troublesome to manually reflect updated tasks from Notion into GitHub..." Double data entry and missed updates can become significant challenges for development and project teams. To address these issues, automating the reflection of Notion data into GitHub is effective!
For example, by automatically creating and updating GitHub Issues with tasks added or updated in Notion, you can significantly reduce the effort of manual entry. This way, you only need to add or update data in Notion, reducing the need to switch between systems.
In this article, we introduce a specific flow to integrate Notion and GitHub, preventing double entry and the risk of human error! The automation setup can be easily configured without programming, so rest assured.
For those who want to try it quickly
By using Yoom, you can easily integrate Notion and GitHub with no code. Yoom provides templates for integrating Notion and GitHub, so you can achieve integration immediately without any API knowledge, just by registering.
What You Can Do by Integrating Notion and GitHub
By integrating the APIs of Notion and GitHub, you can automatically sync Notion data with GitHub! For example, you can automatically perform data synchronization like the following without human intervention.
Create a GitHub Issue When a Specific Notion Database Page is Created or Updated
When a page in a specific Notion database is created or updated, an Issue is automatically created in GitHub. This eliminates the hassle of manually transferring data to GitHub. Additionally, you can freely customize settings such as the title and body of the Issue!
When a task is updated in Notion, update the GitHub Issue as well
By utilizing this flow, when a task is updated in Notion, it will automatically be reflected in the GitHub Issue. Automation can help prevent information from being missed and maintain consistency of information.

When you copy, the template will be copied to your Yoom management screen as shown below, so let's press OK and proceed with the settings.
Step 3: Setting Notion Trigger
(1) Connect with Notion to set up when a page in a specific database is created or updated. Click on the app trigger "When a page in a specific database is created or updated".
(2) From the Notion "Select Integration Account and Action" screen, check if there are any errors in the account information linked with Notion, keep the trigger action as "When a page in a specific database is created or updated", and click "Next".
(3) From the "App Trigger API Connection Settings" screen, select the trigger activation interval. Select the trigger activation interval from the dropdown: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes. ※ Please note that the shortest trigger activation interval varies depending on the plan.
Scroll down, check the red line, and enter the database ID.
Once the input is complete, click the "Test" button, and if the Notion information is reflected in the output, the test is successful. Click "Save" at the bottom and proceed to the next step!
Step 4: Connect with GitHub to Create an Issue
(1) Next, connect with GitHub to create an Issue. Click "Create Issue".
(2) From the GitHub "Select Integration Account and Action" screen, check if there are any errors in the account information linked with GitHub, keep the action as "Create Issue", and click "Next".
(3) From the "API Connection Settings" screen, check the red line, and enter the owner name and repository name. Enter the title using the output as shown in the image below.
If the test results contain values but the obtained values do not appear in the output, please add them! Refer to the following site for how to add output.
Scroll down, and the content entered in the comment will be reflected in GitHub. By using the output in the text, you can quote Notion information. Enter the user ID for the assignee.
Step 5: Set Trigger to ON and Prepare for Flow Operation
Well done! All settings are now complete. Once the settings are complete, a menu like the one below will be displayed, so turn the trigger ON.
Actually start the flow bot and check if an Issue is created in GitHub when a page in a specific Notion database is created or updated!
