Sync New GitHub Issues to Airtable Records
Stop copying issue details between tools. When a new GitHub issue is created, Notis automatically creates a matching record in your Airtable project base, complete with title, description, and assignee.
Trigger
New Issue Created
Triggers when a new issue is created in a GitHub repository. Pull requests are automatically excluded -- only true issues produce events. Results can be filtered by labels, assignee, creator, and mentioned user. The payload includes the issue number, title, body, state, labels, assignees, comment count, creator details, timestamps, and direct links to the issue on GitHub.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
New GitHub issues pile up but don't automatically appear in your project management system, forcing manual copying or duplicate entry that gets forgotten.
- All issues appear in your Airtable project tracker without manual work
- Immediate visibility of new work across your team
- Single source of truth for active issues and PRs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub repository and Airtable workspace to Notis (one-time setup in the portal).
- 2Create a new automation in Notis: open Automations > New Automation in the portal.
- 3Set the prompt to: 'When a new GitHub issue is created, create a record in Airtable with the issue title, description, number, and author. Link to the GitHub issue URL.'
- 4Select 'New Issue Created' as the trigger and choose your Airtable workspace as the action destination.
- 5Select your preferred channel (Telegram, email, or Slack) for run notifications and click Create.
- 6Test by opening a test issue in your GitHub repository and confirm the record appears in Airtable.
Questions about this workflow
Will this sync all past issues or only new ones?
Notis syncs only new issues created after the automation is set up. To sync existing issues, ask Notis to import your open issues in a one-time batch.
Can I customize which fields sync to Airtable?
Yes. In your automation prompt, specify exactly which fields you want: title, description, labels, assignee, or any custom data you need.
What happens if the GitHub issue is deleted?
Notis doesn't automatically delete the Airtable record. You can optionally add a step to delete the record if needed, or leave it for historical tracking.
