How to Automatically Link Wrike Data to GitHub with Easy Setup

"Could you also register this task on GitHub?"
"Huh, the task I thought I added to Wrike isn't showing up on GitHub...?"

Do you struggle with managing tasks in both Wrike for project management and GitHub for development management?
Forgetting to manually register or update tasks can lead to information discrepancies among team members, reducing work efficiency.
The solution to this problem is integrating Wrike with GitHub.
By setting up a system where creating a new task in Wrike automatically registers an issue in GitHub, you can reduce manual workload and quickly share information.

This makes task progress management smoother and strengthens collaboration between the development and project management teams.
It's easy to set up without any coding, so try it out right away using this article as a guide!

For those who want to try it as soon as possible:

Register New Tasks Created in Wrike to GitHub

By utilizing this flow, you can automatically update Issues according to task progress.
This flow is recommended for those who want to streamline the integration between Wrike and GitHub and improve team work efficiency!

Let's Create a Wrike and GitHub Integration Flow

Now, let's create a flow that integrates Wrike and GitHub!
This time, we'll use Yoom to proceed with the integration of Wrike and GitHub without any code, so if you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue one from this registration form.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flow bot that registers new tasks created in Wrike to GitHub!

The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.

Integrate Wrike and GitHub with My Apps
Copy the template
Set up the trigger in Wrike and the action in GitHub
Set the trigger to ON and complete the preparation for flow operation

Step 1: Connect My Apps with Wrike and GitHub

1. How to Register Wrike

Click on "My Apps" and then select "Add". Enter Wrike in the search bar and search for it.

When the Wrike login screen appears, enter the information for the account you want to connect and log in.

Once logged in, click the "Approve" button to approve the connection with Yoom.

That's it, the My Apps connection with Wrike is complete!

2. How to Register GitHub
Now, enter GitHub in the search bar of "Add" and search for it.
The GitHub sign-in screen will appear, so sign in with your account.

Once signed in, the My Apps connection with GitHub is complete!

‍Step 2: Copy the Template

From the next step, we will use the template introduced earlier!
Click "Try it" on the banner below to copy it.

Once copied, the template will be copied to your Yoom management screen, so press the "OK" button to proceed with the settings!

Step 3: Set the trigger to activate when a task is created in Wrike

First, click on the Wrike icon "When a task is created" to set it up.

The following page is set by default.
Make sure the trigger action is set to "When a task is created" and proceed to the next page!

On the next page, you can set how many minutes after a new task is created in Wrike the trigger will activate.
You can select the activation interval from the dropdown, but please note that the shortest activation interval varies depending on the plan.

Once you have set the activation interval, switch to the Wrike screen and register a new task for testing.
(The output obtained from the test will be used in the next steps. Feel free to set the task content as you like!)

Once the task is registered, return to the Yoom screen and click the test button.
If the test is successful, the output will be obtained.

‍
Press "Save" to complete the trigger settings!

Step 4: Create an Issue in GitHub

Next, click on the GitHub icon "Create Issue" to set it up.

This page is also pre-configured, so no changes are needed.
Make sure the action is set to "Create Issue" and proceed to the next page!

Refer to the annotations outside the frame to obtain the owner name and repository name from the Github URL.

The title is set by default as shown on the screen below.
By setting it this way, you can automatically retrieve the "Title" from the new task created in Wrike and quote it as the title of the new Issue in GitHub!

Comments are also set by default as shown on the screen below.
You can automatically retrieve the "Status", "Priority", and "Start Date" of the new task created in Wrike and register them in the comments of the new Issue in GitHub.
Note that comments can be freely changed, so try changing the text or output information you want to quote according to your needs!

Once the settings are complete, click "Test".

Once you have confirmed that the test new Issue has been successfully registered in GitHub, save the settings to complete the action settings!

Step 5: Turn the Trigger ON

Once the flowbot creation is complete, a screen like the one below will be displayed.
The trigger is initially set to OFF, so change it to ON and check the operation right away!

This completes the flow of "Registering a new task created in Wrike to GitHub".
