Use Zaps to Notify You When Your Team Is Mentioned on GitHub

Update: This feature is no longer available. You can see everything that's possible with GitHub and Zapier here.

GitHub is useful for collaborating and communicating as you're building the next great thing. GitHub Zaps like these help simplify your workday even further, by eliminating your need to transfer data between apps:

One problem that you might run into, though, as a GitHub user is getting too many email notifications. You want to stay in the loop with what's going on, but you also don't want your inbox overwhelmed with noise.

To ease the pain of surplus GitHub notifications, you can set up Zaps that listen to commits, comments, issues, and pull requests that you're a part of. If your team name or your name is mentioned, the Zap will trigger. Turn your GitHub notifications off and let Zapier do the work whenever you're mentioned.

For example, you can set up a Zap that will send you a direct message on Slack whenever your team—for example, @zapier/engineering—is mentioned on GitHub. Top off the Zap with another step to add the mention to your to-do list app.

Or try out a Zap that notifies you about personal mentions:
