Track GitHub Contributors in Salesforce
Pull request opened? The author automatically becomes a contact in Salesforce. You're never out of touch.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Create contact
Creates a new contact in salesforce with the specified information.
Why this helps
Community members and open-source contributors submit PRs. You merge their work, but you never capture their contact info. Months later, you want to reach out but have no way to find them. You've lost potential partners, evangelists, or hires.
- Automatically capture all PR authors as contacts
- Build a network of contributors and community members
- Enable outreach to potential partners, employees, or evangelists
- No manual contact creation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Salesforce to Notis.
- 2Create an automation named 'PR Authors to Contacts'.
- 3Set the prompt to: 'When a new pull request is created, create a contact in Salesforce with the PR author's name and GitHub profile URL in the notes. Add the label "contributor" to track them.'
- 4Select 'GitHub: New Pull Request Created' as the trigger.
- 5Test by creating a pull request from a test GitHub account.
Questions about this workflow
What if the same person opens multiple PRs?
Notis will check if the contact already exists before creating a duplicate. It updates the existing contact instead.
Can I capture email addresses?
GitHub's public API may not expose email addresses. Notis will capture what's available. You can manually enrich email addresses in Salesforce if needed.
