Connect GitHub with Glow

GitHub holds the code and the record of how it changes. Connect it to Glow to trigger workflows on new commits, pull requests or issues, and to open or update issues automatically from activity in your support or planning tools.

How it works

1

Connect your account

Authorize Glow to access your GitHub account in a couple of clicks — no API keys or webhooks to configure by hand.

2

Pick a trigger or action

Choose one of GitHub's triggers to start a workflow, or drop in one of its actions as a step further down the chain.

3

Map the data

Wire fields from GitHub into the rest of your workflow — Glow handles the formatting so every step downstream gets what it expects.

4

Turn it on

Publish the workflow and Glow runs it automatically from then on, every time the trigger fires.
