1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a GitHub issue from a Notion item, we will use Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you’re new, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks monthly.

Once signed in, you will see the dashboard. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the workflow creation interface where you can set up the integration.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In order to create an automation process, you need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name.

• Name your workflow: ‘How to Create GitHub Issue from Notion Item’
• Select a folder to save your workflow, for instance, ‘Notion Automations.’
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

After clicking ‘Create’, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what starts the workflow, while Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, we will set up Notion as the trigger application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger section, select Notion as the application. Next, choose ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event. This means that every time a new item is added to your Notion database, Pabbly Connect will capture this event.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button and then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account. Select the pages you want to give access to and click ‘Allow Access’.

• Choose the database ID for the Notion database you created, such as ‘Issue Details.’
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the last item entered.

Once you have entered the test item in your Notion database, Pabbly Connect will fetch this data, confirming that the trigger setup is successful.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the trigger is set up, you need to set the action step. In the Action section, select GitHub as the application and choose ‘Create Issue’ as the action event. This will allow Pabbly Connect to create an issue in GitHub whenever a new item is added to Notion.

Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub account. You will need to select the owner and repository where the issue will be created.

Select the appropriate repository, like ‘r209 popcorn.’ Map the data from the previous step to the title and body of the GitHub issue.

After filling in all required fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the action setup. A positive response indicates that the integration is working correctly.

5. Verifying the Integration between Notion and GitHub

To ensure everything is set up correctly, check your GitHub account for the newly created issue. Open your GitHub issues page and refresh it. You should see the issue created from the Notion item you entered.

The issue will have the title and description that you specified in the Notion database. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process of creating GitHub issues from Notion items.

By following this integration process, your team can efficiently manage tasks and bugs without manual effort, improving overall project management.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to create GitHub issues from Notion items seamlessly. This integration streamlines your workflow, ensuring that all issues are tracked and addressed promptly.
