Frequently Asked Questions about GitHub + Smartsheet integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with GitHub and Smartsheet

How can I integrate GitHub with Smartsheet using your platform?

You can integrate GitHub with Smartsheet through our platform by setting up a Zap that connects triggers and actions between the two applications. For instance, a trigger could be a new issue created on GitHub, and the corresponding action could be to create a new row in Smartsheet with the issue details.

What are some common triggers for integrating GitHub and Smartsheet?

Common triggers include events such as when a new issue is created in GitHub, when a pull request is opened or merged, or when a repository is starred. These actions can then prompt tasks to be performed in Smartsheet.

Can I automatically update a Smartsheet when changes are made to my GitHub repository?

Yes, you can set up integrations that listen to repository changes like commits or pull requests in GitHub and automatically update specific rows or cells in your Smartsheet accordingly.

Is it possible to create tasks in Smartsheet from GitHub issues?

Absolutely. By using our integration setup, you can configure actions where creating an issue in GitHub will result in generating tasks or entries on a specific sheet within your Smartsheet.

How do I handle data from merged pull requests using this integration?

Our integration allows actions based on pull requests being merged. You can automate the updating or archiving of information within your Smartsheet based on changes from merged pull requests.

Are there any limitations on data fields we can sync between GitHub and Smartsheet?

While most fields like issue titles, descriptions, and labels from GitHub sync seamlessly with rows and columns in Smartsheet, complex datasets might need custom mapping during setup. Our functionality provides great flexibility for most standard use cases.
