Add Github Pull Requests As Monday.com Tasks

Ever felt swamped by the sheer number of Github pull requests you have to track? 👀 Keeping everything in check can burn a whole lot of your time.

Say goodbye to manually adding tasks on Monday for each new pull request in Github. Let's automate it!

In this guide, you'll learn how to create tasks automatically in Monday every time there's a new pull request in Github. Ain't that a lifesaver?

Essentials for Automating Monday Tasks with Github Pull Requests

To get this automation rolling, you'll need to have a few things sorted out first:

• A subscription to Activepieces. It's the magic wand that ties everything together.
• An account on Github- that's where all your pull requests will be coming from.
• A Monday account. This is where the tasks will be created the moment there's a new pull request in Github.

Having all these at the ready, you're good to go!

Steps to automate task creation in Monday with Github pull requests

Step 1: Copy the Github + Monday template

For starters, get your hands on this rock-solid template from ActivePieces. It's preconfigured to create a task in Monday for every new pull request in Github. When you copy the template, it'll prompt you to login or sign up for your ActivePieces account. Once that’s done, voila, the automation flow is all set up in your account!

Step 2: Understand the Github + Monday automation structure

Let's break it down! This automation workflow has two main parts: a trigger and an action. The 'New Pull Request' trigger is on high alert in your Github repository, waiting for new PRs to pounce on. Once it detects a fresh PR, it activates the 'Create Item' action in Monday.

The action step creates an item (or task) on your chosen Monday board with details of the pull request. So instead of juggling between Github and Monday, you get everything in one place. And the best part? It's all automatic- no more manual labor!

Step 3: Configure your Github + Monday flow

Now, let's tailor this flow to better fit your needs. First off, you need to link your Github and Monday accounts to the corresponding steps. Just click the '+' button to add a new connection and follow the directions. Easy as pie!

Next up, fine-tune the settings. The 'New Pull Request' trigger will ask you to select a repository. Go ahead and choose the one you want to keep tabs on.

Then, pop over to the 'Create Item' action in Monday. You'll need to pick a board and a group where new tasks should appear. You can also customize the task details to include all the info you need.

Remember, in the world of automation, a little bit of tinkering goes a long way!

Once you're done, hit 'Publish'. Your shiny new automation workflow is now live and ready to roll! Now, sit back and watch as tasks show up in Monday for every new pull request in Github. Keeping track of PRs just got a whole lot easier, didn't it?
