GitHub + Slack

Get direct messages on Slack for new GitHub mentions

People talk to you on more places than Slack, but all the information can still be centralized on your chat app. Set up this automation and we'll do the rest: It will trigger when a new issue is added on GitHub, automatically sending you a direct message on Slack with everything you need to jump right in.

When this happens...
New Mention
Triggers when your Github username is mentioned in a Commit, Comment, Issue or Pull Request.
