Practical ways you can use GitHub and Motion
Create Motion tasks for GitHub pull requests
When a new pull request is created in GitHub, Zapier automatically generates a Motion task to track and schedule code reviews. This integration keeps code review tasks organized and reduces turnaround times with clear priorities and scheduling.
Business Owner
Sync new GitHub issues with Motion tasks
When a new issue is created in GitHub, Zapier automatically creates a corresponding task in Motion. This ensures that tasks derived from code-related issues are prioritized and scheduled effectively in your team's workflow, improving task visibility and resolution time.
Engineering
Log GitHub repository events as Motion tasks
When any event occurs in a GitHub repository, Zapier creates a Motion task to track maintenance or action points required. This improves team response time while handling critical updates or disruptions.
