1. Integrating GitHub with WhatsApp Using Okay

To automate notifications on WhatsApp for new GitHub issues, we will integrate Okay with WhatsApp. This integration allows the Admin to receive alerts whenever a new issue is created on GitHub. By connecting these applications, we can streamline communication and ensure timely responses.

We will use Pabbly Connect for this automation. The process involves setting up GitHub as the trigger application and WhatsApp as the action application. This way, every time a new issue is raised, a WhatsApp notification will be sent to the Admin.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start, visit the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or create a new account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard to create a new workflow. This workflow will manage the automation between GitHub and WhatsApp. using Pabbly Connect

  • Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate a new automation.
  • Name your workflow, for example, ‘Receive WhatsApp Notification for New GitHub Issue’.
  • Select the appropriate folder to save your workflow.

After setting up the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. Choose GitHub as the trigger application and select the event that will initiate the workflow.

3. Configuring GitHub as the Trigger Application

In this step, we will configure GitHub to trigger notifications. Select GitHub as the application and choose the event ‘New Issue Comment’. This event will activate whenever a team member comments on a new issue. using Pabbly Connect

Next, click on ‘Connect Now’ to establish a connection with your GitHub account. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub account. Make sure you are logged in to simplify the connection process.

Once you receive the confirmation, you can test the trigger by creating a new issue in GitHub. This will ensure that the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Sending WhatsApp Notifications to Admin

After setting up the GitHub trigger, the next step is to configure WhatsApp as the action application to send notifications. Select WhatsApp and choose the action event ‘Send WhatsApp Template Message’. This action will send a message to the Admin whenever a new issue is created. using Pabbly Connect

To connect to WhatsApp, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter the required details, including the secret key from your WhatsApp settings. This key allows Pabbly Connect to send messages on your behalf.

Input the Admin’s phone number along with the country code. Specify the template code name for the WhatsApp message. Map the variables for the message body using data from GitHub.

Once everything is set, save the action and send a test request. If successful, the Admin will receive a WhatsApp notification confirming the new issue.
