1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for GitHub and ClickUp Integration

To integrate GitHub with ClickUp, first access Pabbly Connect by typing ‘Pabbly.com’ in your browser. Once on the website, hover over the ‘Products’ menu and click on ‘Connect’ to navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Here, you can sign in if you already have an account. If not, creating a free account is quick and easy. Pabbly Connect offers a free plan that allows you to clone integration templates, which is a great way to start your automation journey.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, you can name it ‘GitHub to ClickUp’. Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Select GitHub as the app in the trigger window.
• Choose ‘Issues’ as the trigger event to capture new GitHub issues.
• Connect your GitHub account to Pabbly Connect by authorizing the app.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new issues created in your GitHub repository, facilitating the data transfer to ClickUp.

3. Configuring the GitHub Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once the GitHub app is connected, select the specific repository you want to monitor for new issues. For example, if you created a repository named ‘Skynet’, select it from the dropdown list. After selecting the repository, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is established correctly.

Next, you need to capture the webhook response to confirm that the integration is working. Click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’ and then create a test issue in your GitHub repository to see if Pabbly Connect captures the data successfully.

After creating the test issue, you should see the data appear in Pabbly Connect, confirming that it is receiving updates from GitHub. This step is crucial for ensuring that Pabbly Connect is properly set up to handle incoming data.

4. Syncing Data to ClickUp Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the GitHub trigger, it’s time to send the data to ClickUp. Click on the plus button to add an action step, and select ClickUp as the app. Choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event since you want to create a new task in ClickUp whenever a new issue is added in GitHub.

• Connect your ClickUp account by entering your API token, which can be found in your ClickUp profile settings under the ‘Apps’ section.
• Map the fields such as task name, description, and due date using the data received from GitHub.
• Ensure you format the dates correctly using the POSIX timestamp format for accurate scheduling.

This process allows Pabbly Connect to create a new task in ClickUp automatically whenever a new issue is reported in GitHub, streamlining your project management workflow.

5. Testing the Integration Between GitHub and ClickUp

To verify that the integration works as intended, create another test issue in your GitHub repository. For example, you might name the issue ‘AI has taken over’. After submitting the issue, refresh your ClickUp tasks list to see if the new task appears.

This step is crucial for ensuring that the data flow between GitHub and ClickUp is functioning smoothly. If the task appears in ClickUp, it confirms that Pabbly Connect is successfully automating the process of task creation from GitHub issues.

By following these steps, you can easily integrate GitHub with ClickUp using Pabbly Connect, allowing for efficient project management and issue tracking. This integration not only saves time but also enhances productivity by automating repetitive tasks.
