E-mail GitHub

Keep E-mail and GitHub updated automatically.

This connector fixes that, and we build it on request: what happens in E-mail lands in GitHub by itself, in the shape GitHub expects. Tell us what you need and we agree exactly what should travel.

The problem

What this connector takes off your hands

  • Today you create the task or the row yourself, or you just remember it and that fails eventually.

What you get out of it

What E-mail to GitHub saves you

  • Turn every message arriving via E-mail into a GitHub task automatically.
The link

What travels across the link

Everything this connector moves between E-mail and GitHub, and how often.

  1. Tasks

    to GitHub automatically

    This lands in GitHub as a task in the list or project you choose, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

  2. Rows

    to GitHub automatically

    This arrives in GitHub as a new row, so your overview stays complete without you retyping anything.

Both sides

What each side expects

E-mail and GitHub do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.

GitHub

A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

In four steps

Setting it up

  1. 01

    Request the connector

    Let us know you want to link E-mail to GitHub. We get in touch within 24 hours with a timeline.

  2. 02

    We agree what should travel

    Together we settle what should travel out of E-mail. A task list or table wants to know where something belongs, and only stays usable with a fixed layout.

  3. 03

    We build and test

    You see the connector run on a few test records before anything becomes final.

What you need

  • Access to the workspace or channel the notifications should land in.
  • An account with edit rights, and the list or project it should land in.

Where it runs

On app.schakel.app, with your own Schakel account. No webshop required.

We build this connector on request. Tell us what you need and we reply within 24 hours.

Common questions

Can you connect E-mail to GitHub?

Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of E-mail and GitHub, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.

Which GitHub project or list do the tasks land in?

The project or list you choose. That keeps everything in one place rather than scattered, and follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.

Can I decide what goes into the GitHub task or row?

Yes. When setting it up you pick which details from E-mail come along, so a task or row in GitHub has just enough context.

What does connecting E-mail and GitHub cost?

You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.

How often does E-mail sync with GitHub?

That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.

What if E-mail or GitHub is briefly unavailable?

Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.

How do I connect E-mail to GitHub?

You give Schakel access to E-mail and GitHub once and pick what should travel. We set it up together with you, so no technical knowledge is needed, and after that it runs by itself.

Is my E-mail data safe in this connector?

Your credentials are stored encrypted and we only process what is needed to update GitHub. We sell nothing on and comply with the GDPR.

Missing something you need?

Tell us what E-mail and GitHub should do for you. If it is not in here yet, that is usually because nobody has asked. We build on request and we reply within 24 hours.
