1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create GitHub issues from Notion items, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are new, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks per month.

After signing in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can start creating your automation workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner to begin the setup process.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow specifically for integrating Notion with GitHub using Pabbly Connect. When prompted, give your workflow a name, such as ‘Create GitHub Issue from Notion Item’. Then, select a folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Choose a folder for organization.

Once you have named your workflow and selected a folder, click on the ‘Create’ button. You will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what starts the automation, while the Action is what happens as a result of that trigger.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Notion

For the trigger application, select Notion in Pabbly Connect. This step is crucial because it allows you to capture new items added to your Notion database. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Database Item’ to ensure that every new item in your Notion database is captured automatically.

Next, connect your Notion account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion pages. Select the pages you want to give access to and click on the ‘Allow Access’ button.

• Select the Notion database ID that contains your issue details.
• Test the connection to ensure it is set up correctly.

After testing the connection, you should receive a response indicating that the trigger setup was successful. This means that anytime a new item is added to your Notion database, Pabbly Connect will capture it.

4. Setting Up the Action with GitHub

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to set up the action step. Choose GitHub as the action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event you want to select is ‘Create Issue’ since you want to create a GitHub issue based on the Notion item.

Connect your GitHub account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub account. You will need to select the repository where you want the issue to be created.

Select the owner of your GitHub repository. Choose the repository where the issue will be created.

Fill in the required fields such as the issue title and body by mapping the data from the Notion item captured in the previous step. This mapping ensures that each new issue will have the correct details from the Notion database.

5. Testing the Integration and Confirming Automation

With both the trigger and action set up, it’s time to test the integration. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This action will send a request to GitHub to create a new issue based on the details from the Notion item.

Once the test is successful, check your GitHub account to confirm that the new issue has been created. Refresh the issues page in your GitHub repository to see the newly created issue with the details pulled from your Notion database.

Verify the issue title and description match the Notion item. Ensure that all required fields are populated correctly.

This successful integration shows how Pabbly Connect can automate the process of creating GitHub issues from Notion items, saving time and improving team efficiency.
