GitHub and Google Sheets integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for GitHub and Google Sheets and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Data & Storage, and Productivity workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect GitHub and Google Sheets

  • Step 1: Create a new workflow
  • Step 2: Add and configure nodes
  • Step 3: Connect
  • Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
  • Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure GitHub and Google Sheets nodes

You can find GitHub and Google Sheets in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure GitHub and Google Sheets nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect GitHub and Google Sheets

A connection establishes a link between GitHub and Google Sheets (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your GitHub and Google Sheets integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect GitHub and Google Sheets with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your GitHub and Google Sheets workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from GitHub to Google Sheets or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Googleform submission to create a Github issue bug report

Automated Workflow for Google Form Submissions, GitHub Issues, and Discord Notifications

This workflow streamlines how new Google Form submissions are processed by automatically creating GitHub issues and sending real-time notifications to a Discord channel through a webhook.

Who Is This Template For?
Developers** looking to centralize bug reporting and issue tracking.
Project Managers** seeking an efficient way to log tasks and updates.
QA Teams** that need a fast, automated process for reporting and resolving issues.

Workflow Overview

Google Form Trigger
The workflow begins with a Google Sheets Trigger node that checks for new form submissions every minute.

Add New Form Submissions to Google Sheets
Each new submission is recorded in a dedicated Google Sheet for easy reference and archiving.

Filter Out Already Posted Issues
An If node checks if the issue is already posted on GitHub by looking for an existing GitHub link in the sheet.

Format Message / Output Parsing
If the issue is new, an OpenAI Chat Model node generates a structured output, including a title, description, and suggested fix.

Add Issue to GitHub
The structured output is used to create a new issue in the specified GitHub repository.

Send Notification to Discord
A Discord webhook is triggered to send a notification to your chosen channel, including a link to the newly created GitHub issue.

Add GitHub Link to the Sheet
The GitHub issue link is added back to the Google Sheet for easy cross-referencing.

Setup Steps

  1. Google Sheets Setup
    Create/Designate a Google Sheet:** Ensure it’s set to receive form submissions.
    Configure the Trigger Node:** Provide the correct document ID and sheet name in the Google Sheets Trigger node.

  2. OpenAI Configuration
    API Credentials:** Set up the OpenAI Chat Model node with valid OpenAI API credentials.
    Prompt Definition:** Create a prompt that formats the form submission data into a structured output (e.g., title, description, suggested fix).

  3. GitHub Configuration
    OAuth Credentials:** Configure the GitHub node with your GitHub OAuth credentials.
    Target Repository:** Specify the repository where new issues should be created.

  4. Discord Webhook
    Webhook URL:** Obtain a webhook URL from your Discord server.
    Notification Setup:** Use the HTTP Request node to send notifications to your chosen Discord channel.

  5. Google Sheets Update
    Document & Sheet Name:** Provide the same Google Sheet details used in the first step.
    Add GitHub Link:** Update the corresponding row with the newly created GitHub issue link.

Recommended Google Sheet Columns
Timestamp**: Automatically recorded when the form is submitted.
Issue Title**: Generated by the OpenAI Chat Model.
Issue Description**: Detailed breakdown of the issue.
GitHub Link**: Automatically populated once the issue is created.
Discord Notification Status** (optional): Indicates whether the notification was sent successfully.

Additional Notes
Duplicate Prevention**: The conditional logic ensures existing issues aren’t recreated on GitHub.
AI-Powered Formatting**: OpenAI helps structure the issue details, providing clarity for developers.
Real-Time Alerts**: Discord notifications keep your entire team updated on new issues as they arise.
