Automate Google Sheets to GitHub Issue Creation with Instant Email Alerts

Streamline your workflow by automatically creating GitHub issues from new rows in your Google Sheets and getting immediate email notifications for every newly created issue. This template eliminates the hassle of manual tracking and ensures that your team stays updated in real time.

Trigger Event: New Row in Google Sheets

Whenever a new row is added to your specified Google Sheet, this workflow is instantly triggered. It's perfect for teams managing bugs, feature requests, or tasks using a shared spreadsheet.

Actions

1. Create GitHub Issue

A new issue is created in your chosen GitHub repository using the details from the newly added sheet row, such as the issue title and description.

2. Delay Step

The workflow briefly pauses for 5 minutes. This helps to ensure that GitHub has processed the new issue properly before moving to the next steps.

3. Find Issue on GitHub

The workflow searches for the newly created issue in the same repository. This step verifies that the issue exists and retrieves the latest data for your notification.

4. Send Email Notification

An email notification is sent (in this example, to test@gmail.com) with the details of the new GitHub issue, keeping relevant team members or stakeholders informed immediately.

Benefits

• Saves time: Automatically manages the transfer of data from Google Sheets to GitHub, cutting down manual effort.
• Reduces missed tasks: Ensures every new entry is tracked on GitHub and notifications keep everyone updated.
• Easy communication: Email alerts keep your team in the loop, making follow-ups and collaboration much simpler.
