概要

Sometimes the simplest automations save us the most time ✨

Picture this: a 108-message Slack thread, four people deep in debugging some weird API issue. Eventually someone figures it out. The buzz dies down.

And then someone says: "Can we turn this into a GitHub issue?" 😬

But the hard part's already done. Why should a human do the admin?

That's exactly what this template solves. It pulls the key messages from your Slack threads and creates GitHub issues automatically. Nothing wild or complicated. Just a small system doing exactly what it's supposed to do.

And because of that? Things move faster. Less overhead, fewer dropped balls, happier teams.

よくある質問

Can I use a different project management tool instead of GitHub?

Yes. This automation works with other issue tracking tools in the same category. For example, if you don't use GitHub, you can swap in tools like Jira, Linear, or Asana instead. Zapier supports thousands of apps, making it easy to adapt the workflow to your existing stack.

Does this automation require any coding or technical setup?

No coding required. This is a no-code automation that you can set up in minutes through Zapier's visual interface. Simply connect your Slack and GitHub accounts, customize the issue template, and you're ready to go. The AI handles all the content transformation automatically.

Can I customize how the AI transforms Slack messages into GitHub issues?

Yes, you can fully customize the AI transformation. You can modify the prompt to change how thread context is structured, what information gets included, and how the issue title and description are formatted. You can also add custom fields, labels, and assignee rules based on your team's workflow.

Will this automation capture the full Slack thread context or just individual messages?

The automation captures complete thread context by default. It pulls in the original message, all replies, and relevant thread metadata to give your GitHub issues full context. You can configure it to include timestamps, user mentions, and even attached files or links shared in the conversation.
