Notion to GitHub Issue Synchronizer
detail.loadingPreview
Automatically transform your Notion "To develop" features into actionable GitHub issues. This workflow streamlines your development process by creating new issues with relevant details and updating Notion with the issue status and URL, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring seamless project tracking.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for bridging the gap between product management in Notion and development in GitHub. Designed for teams that manage feature backlogs or bug reports in Notion, it automatically creates GitHub issues when items are marked "To develop." The workflow runs on a schedule, fetching new or updated items from a designated Notion database, mapping relevant fields like title, description, and repository. Crucially, it then updates the original Notion page with the GitHub issue's URL and sets its status to "In progress," ensuring both platforms are always in sync. This automation saves valuable time, reduces errors, and keeps your entire team aligned on development progress.
Key Features
- Scheduled Synchronization: Automatically checks your Notion database for new "To develop" items every 12 hours (configurable).
- Conditional Issue Creation: Only creates GitHub issues for Notion database pages explicitly marked with a "To develop" status.
- Automated GitHub Issue Creation: Generates new GitHub issues complete with titles, descriptions, and assigns them to the correct repository based on your Notion data.
- Real-time Notion Updates: Once a GitHub issue is created, the corresponding Notion page is updated with an "In progress" status and the direct link to the GitHub issue.
- Customizable Field Mapping: Easily map your Notion database properties (e.g.,
name,property_description) to GitHub issue fields.
