GitHub is often perceived as a tool for engineers, but recently, more marketing and sales professionals are using it as a task management tool. Being able to manage tasks on GitHub regardless of job role facilitates smooth information sharing among teams, which is convenient. Did you know that GitHub can be even more useful when integrated with Wix? In this article, we will explain how to automatically add Wix form information as Issues in GitHub using the no-code tool Yoom! This is recommended for those who want to reduce the hassle of adding Issues or improve task management efficiency. If you're interested, please refer to this article and try the automatic integration with Yoom.

Benefits of Integrating Wix with GitHub

Benefit 1: Reduction of Work Time and Human Errors

Every time there is a response in the form, an Issue is automatically added to GitHub, which can lead to a reduction in work time for those who previously added them manually. This allows you to focus on other high-priority tasks, potentially improving productivity. Additionally, reducing manual work can lower the risk of human errors such as input mistakes. If there is incorrect task information on GitHub, it requires checking and correcting with the Wix form information. Automation can help eliminate such unnecessary efforts.

Benefit 2: Avoidance of Misunderstandings

Manually creating Issues in GitHub based on Wix form information can lead to delays in information reflection. For example, if a form is submitted while attending a meeting, adding the task to GitHub would only happen after the meeting at the earliest. In projects managed by multiple teams, delays in information reflection could lead to misunderstandings among teams. By utilizing this automatic integration, form information is swiftly reflected as tasks, helping to prevent misunderstandings.
