To automate the creation of a new GitHub issue from Google Sheets, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Google Sheets and GitHub, enhancing your workflow efficiency.

Begin by signing in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free. Once logged in, you will find an option to create a new workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow to connect Google Sheets and GitHub. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Google Sheets to GitHub Issue’.

• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.
• Choose the ‘New Spreadsheet Row’ trigger event.
• Connect your Google account to allow Pabbly Connect to access your sheets.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to select the specific Google Sheet and worksheet you want to monitor. This setup is crucial as it determines where the data will be pulled from for the GitHub issue creation.

3. Configuring GitHub Integration in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up Google Sheets, it’s time to configure the GitHub integration. In Pabbly Connect, add an action step by selecting GitHub as your action application.

Choose the ‘Create Issue’ action event. You will be prompted to connect your GitHub account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub repositories. After successful authentication, select the repository where you want to create the issue.

• Map the fields from Google Sheets to GitHub issue fields.
• Specify the title and description for the issue using data from your Google Sheet.
• Test the action to ensure everything is set up correctly.

Once the action is configured, you can run a test to confirm that a new issue is successfully created in GitHub when a new row is added to your Google Sheet.

4. Finalizing and Testing the Workflow

After configuring the integration, it’s essential to finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Review all the settings to ensure accuracy. Make any necessary adjustments to the mapping of fields from Google Sheets to GitHub.

To test the workflow, add a new row in your Google Sheet with the required data. After doing this, return to Pabbly Connect and check the execution history to verify if the issue was created successfully in GitHub.

If the test is successful, you can enable the workflow. This means every time a new row is added to your Google Sheet, a corresponding issue will be automatically created in GitHub, streamlining your project management.
