1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for ClickUp and GitHub Integration

To create GitHub issues from ClickUp tasks, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the integration hub between ClickUp and GitHub. Sign in as an existing user or create a new account to get started.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow, such as ‘Create GitHub Issue from ClickUp Task’. Choose a folder to save the workflow, then click ‘Create’.

2. Configuring ClickUp as the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves configuring ClickUp as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for and select ClickUp. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Task’ to initiate the workflow whenever a new task is created in ClickUp.

• Select ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Establish a connection by clicking on ‘Connect’.
• Input your ClickUp API token to create a new connection.

After connecting, specify your workspace, space, folder, and list names from ClickUp. Save your settings and test the connection to ensure everything is working correctly.

3. Creating a New Task in ClickUp

With the ClickUp trigger configured in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new task in ClickUp. Navigate to your ClickUp account and click on the ‘+ Task’ button. Enter the task details, such as the name ‘Meeting with Board of Directors’ and add any necessary descriptions or due dates.

Once you’ve filled in the task details, click on ‘Create Task’. After the task is created, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the response has been captured. You should see the task details, including the name, description, and list ID, confirming successful integration.

4. Setting Up GitHub as the Action Application

Now it’s time to set up GitHub as the action application within Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for GitHub and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Issue’ to generate a new issue in GitHub based on the ClickUp task.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with GitHub.
• Authorize the connection by clicking ‘Authorize’.
• Select the appropriate repository for the new issue.

Map the title and body of the issue from the response received from ClickUp. Ensure you select the right labels and assign the issue to the correct user before saving the settings and testing the action.

5. Verifying the Integration Between ClickUp and GitHub

After configuring both applications in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to verify the integration. Check your GitHub account under the issues section to confirm that a new issue has been created with the title ‘Meeting with Board of Directors’. This indicates that the integration is functioning as intended.

From now on, every time a new task is created in ClickUp, it will automatically create a corresponding issue in GitHub. This automation saves time and enhances productivity by streamlining task management across platforms.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to create GitHub issues from ClickUp tasks using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows for seamless task management, ensuring that every new task in ClickUp is mirrored as an issue in GitHub, enhancing workflow efficiency.
