1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating GitHub with ClickUp, first access Pabbly Connect by typing Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. This platform is essential for automating tasks and workflows between applications.

If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in. Once registered, you’ll receive 100 free tasks monthly to explore the features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This is where you will establish the connection between GitHub and ClickUp using Pabbly Connect.

In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow something like ‘Create ClickUp Task from GitHub Issue Automatically’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, then click ‘Create’. Now, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action.

• Trigger: This is the event that starts the workflow.
• Action: This is what happens as a result of the trigger.

For this workflow, set GitHub as the trigger application and ClickUp as the action application. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automate the task creation process effectively.

3. Setting Up GitHub as the Trigger Application

Now, select GitHub as the trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘Issues’. This will ensure that the workflow activates whenever a new issue is created in GitHub.

Click on ‘Connect’ and choose ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub account. Once authorized, select the repository where you want to monitor new issues.

• Select the repository from the dropdown menu.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the response.

After saving, create a test issue in GitHub to see if Pabbly Connect captures the response correctly. This step is crucial for ensuring the workflow functions as intended.

4. Configuring ClickUp as the Action Application

Next, set ClickUp as the action application in your workflow. Choose the action event as ‘Create Task’. This allows Pabbly Connect to create a new task in ClickUp based on the GitHub issue data.

Click ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. You’ll need to enter your ClickUp API token, which can be found in your ClickUp profile under the apps section. After pasting it into Pabbly Connect, click ‘Save’.

Select your ClickUp workspace and space for the new task. Map the details from the GitHub issue response to the task fields in ClickUp.

Ensure that each task created in ClickUp reflects the details from the corresponding GitHub issue accurately. This mapping is vital for the integration to work seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration

To test the integration, create a new issue in your selected GitHub repository. After submitting the issue, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the task was created in ClickUp.

Once you receive a successful response in Pabbly Connect, navigate to ClickUp to verify that the new task appears in the designated folder and list. The task should have the same title and details as the GitHub issue.

If everything is set up correctly, you will see the task created in ClickUp with all the mapped details. This confirms that the integration using Pabbly Connect is successful and operational.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to integrate GitHub issues with ClickUp tasks using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the task creation process efficiently. This integration helps streamline workflows and enhances productivity for teams.
