Automate your GitHub integrations

IFTTT allows you to automate your GitHub workflow, enabling you to track issues, pull requests, and repositories automatically. Connect GitHub with other services to streamline your development process and enhance productivity.

Create your own GitHub workflow

Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
