Create a GitHub issue when a page is created in Confluence

■Overview

Manually creating GitHub Issues based on documents created in Confluence can be time-consuming and prone to transcription errors. With this workflow, you can automate the integration between GitHub and Confluence, automatically creating a GitHub Issue based on the content whenever a new page is created in Confluence. Streamline the entire process from document management to task creation and boost development productivity.

■Who is this template for?

• Development teams that use GitHub and Confluence and currently link documents and tasks manually
• Anyone who wants to prevent missed or delayed Issue creation after documents are created and streamline project management
• Project managers who want to automate repetitive data entry and focus on more important development work

■Benefits of this template

• A GitHub Issue is automatically created when a page is created in Confluence, reducing the time previously spent on manual work.
• Eliminating manual data entry helps prevent human errors such as incorrect Issue titles or descriptions and missed task creation.

■Flowbot steps

1. First, connect Confluence and GitHub to Yoom.
2. Next, select Confluence as the trigger and set the action to “When a page is created.”
3. Then, set up Confluence’s “Get a page” action as an operation to retrieve the content of the newly created page.
4. Next, set up the text extraction feature’s “Extract data from text” action as an operation to extract the information required for the Issue from the retrieved page content.
5. Finally, set up GitHub’s “Create a pull request” action as an operation and create an Issue using the extracted information.

※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the flow. “Operation”: An action that processes data within the flow after the trigger starts.

■Customization options

• In the text extraction operation, specify the sections of the Confluence page content you want to use as the Issue title and description.
• In the GitHub action for creating an Issue, you can freely configure the title and body by dynamically inserting information retrieved from Confluence or adding fixed text.

■Notes

• ‍‍Connect both Confluence and Github to Yoom.
• You can choose a trigger interval of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
• Note that the shortest available trigger interval varies by plan.
