Track GitHub Issues as Salesforce Leads
New GitHub issues become leads instantly. No more switching between platforms to track customer feedback.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Create lead
Creates a new lead in salesforce with the specified information.
Why this helps
When customer issues come in via GitHub, you either manually enter them into Salesforce or they slip through the cracks entirely. By the time you remember, context is lost.
- Every GitHub issue automatically becomes a trackable lead in Salesforce
- Eliminates manual data entry between platforms
- Ensures customer feedback is captured in your CRM
- Reduces follow-up delays
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Salesforce to Notis (one-time setup in the Notis portal).
- 2In the Notis portal, go to Automations > New Automation and create a workflow named 'GitHub Issues to Leads'.
- 3Set the prompt to: 'When a new GitHub issue is created, create a matching lead in Salesforce with the issue title as the company name and issue URL in the description.'
- 4Choose 'GitHub: New Issue Created' as the trigger and select your communication channel for run notifications.
- 5Test with one real GitHub issue to confirm the lead appears in Salesforce.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a new lead for every single issue?
By default, yes. You can refine the automation in Notis to filter by labels (e.g., only 'customer-request' labels) if needed.
Can I map issue fields to specific lead fields?
Notis handles field mapping automatically based on your plain-language instruction. You don't configure individual field mappings. If you want custom mapping, just describe it to Notis and it will interpret your intent.
What happens if the same issue is updated?
This workflow triggers on new issues only. If you want to track updates to existing issues, ask Notis to create a separate automation for 'Issue Updated' events.
