Integrate GitHub with

500+ apps and services

To use GitHub integration in n8n, start by adding the GitHub node to your workflow. You'll need to authenticate your GitHub account using supported authentication methods. Once connected, you can choose from the list of supported actions or make custom API calls via the HTTP Request node, for example: make sure to configure the necessary fields in the GitHub node based on your selected action. You can also set up triggers to respond to GitHub events, enhancing automation in your workflows. Finally, test the integration to ensure everything functions as expected.

Yes, you will typically need an API key, token, or similar credentials to add GitHub integration to n8n. These can usually be found in your account settings for the service. Ensure that your credentials have the necessary permissions to access and manage the data or actions you want to automate within your workflows.

Definitely! n8n enables you to create workflows that combine GitHub with other apps and services. For instance, you can automate tasks like creating issues, syncing data, or triggering actions when certain events occur in GitHub. This flexibility allows you to streamline your development processes while integrating various tools. Just set up the desired triggers and actions in n8n to get started.

Common use cases for GitHub automation include automating issue management, such as creating or updating issues based on events in other apps, and synchronizing repositories with other services to streamline workflows. Additionally, teams often use integrations to facilitate continuous deployment by triggering builds or deployments when code is pushed to a specific branch. These automations can significantly enhance productivity and collaboration within development teams. With n8n, you can customize these workflows to fit your specific needs and extend them by adding other 400+ integrations or incorporating advanced AI logic.

n8n’s pricing model is designed to be both affordable and scalable, which is particularly beneficial when integrating with GitHub. Unlike other platforms that charge per operation or task, n8n charges only for full workflow executions. This means you can create complex workflows with GitHub, involving thousands of tasks or steps, without worrying about escalating costs. For example, if your GitHub workflows perform around 100k tasks, you could be paying $500+/month on other platforms, but with n8n's pro plan, you start at around $50. This approach allows you to scale your GitHub integrations efficiently while maintaining predictable costs.
