GitHub and Slack integration

n8n lets you integrate GitHub with Slack to build powerful workflows. Design automation that extracts, transforms and loads data between your apps and services. You can choose from thousands of ready-made apps or use our universal HTTP connector to sync apps not yet in our library.

Build your own GitHub and Slack integration

Create custom GitHub and Slack workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
