Create a GitHub issue when a file is uploaded to Box

■Overview

Many teams manage development-related files in Box and tasks in GitHub. Manually creating a GitHub Issue every time a new file is added to Box is time-consuming and can lead to missed communications. This workflow detects file uploads to Box and automatically creates a GitHub Issue, streamlining the connection between GitHub and Box and making these routine tasks more efficient.

■Recommended for

• Teams that use Box and GitHub and manually handle everything from file sharing to task creation
• Teams that want to automate the integration between GitHub and Box and share information with their development team faster
• Teams looking to prevent missed communications and delays between file management and task management

■Benefits

• Automatically create a GitHub Issue when a file is uploaded to Box, reducing the time spent manually creating tasks.
• Reduce the risk of human error, such as missed or delayed Issue creation in GitHub due to manual information sharing, and enable faster communication.

■Flow Bot workflow

1. First, connect Box and GitHub to Yoom.
2. Next, select Box as the trigger, set the “When a file is uploaded to a folder” action, and specify the target folder.
3. Then, select the AI feature in Operations and set the “Extract data from text” action to extract the information required for the Issue from the uploaded file name and other details.
4. Finally, set GitHub’s “Create an Issue” action in Operations to create an Issue in the repository based on 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

• When creating a GitHub Issue, you can set fixed text for fields such as the title, body, assignee, and labels, or insert the file name, upload date and time, and other data retrieved by the trigger or previous operations as variables.

■Notes

• Connect both Box and GitHub to Yoom.
