GitHub

Look up the GitHub connector: its actions and events in alphabetical order, and the sign-in methods of a GitHub connection.

The GitHub connector lets a workflow manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and branches. In the Add node panel, it's in the Connector category, under GitHub. How connector nodes work describes how a connector node is set up.

This page lists what the connector can do in Maestro Automate. Select an action or event to see how to configure it.

Actions

Each action is a node that does one thing in GitHub.

Action	What it does
Create Branch	Create a new branch from an existing repository in GitHub.
Create Issue	Create a new issue in a GitHub repository.
Create Issue Comment	Create a comment on an issue in a GitHub repository.
Create Pull Request	Create a pull request in GitHub.
Create Repository	Create a new repository in GitHub.
Delete Record	Deletes a record in GitHub.
Download File	Download a file from a GitHub repository.
Get Record	Retrieves a record in GitHub.
Insert Record	Insert a new record in GitHub.
List All Branches	Retrieve a list of all branches in a GitHub repository.
List Records	List records in GitHub.
Merge Pull Request	Merge a pull request in GitHub.
Replace Record	Replace a record in GitHub.
Search Issues and Pull Requests	Search for issues or pull requests in GitHub.
Search Repositories	Search for repositories in GitHub.
Update Issue	Modify existing issues in GitHub repositories.
Update Record	Updates a record in GitHub.

Events

Each event can start a workflow, as a Connector trigger, or pause a run until it happens, as a Connector event. In the connector's list, events have the WAIT tag.

Event	What it does
Issue Closed	Trigger actions when an issue is closed in GitHub.
Issue Created	Trigger automation when a new issue is created in GitHub.
Pull Request Created	Trigger automation when a new pull request is created in GitHub.
Pull Request Merged	Trigger actions when a pull request is merged in GitHub.
Pull Request Updated	Trigger actions when a pull request is updated in GitHub.
Record Created	Triggers when you add a new record.
Record Updated	Triggers when an existing record was updated.
Repository Created	Trigger automation when a new repository is created in GitHub.

Connection

A GitHub node signs in through a connection. Create a connection describes how to create one from the node. On the Connect to page, choose one of these sign-in methods:

Sign-in method	What you need
OAuth 2.0 Authorization code	Organization, Account type, and the username and password associated with your GitHub account.
Bring your own OAuth 2.0 app	Client ID, Client secret, Organization, Account type.

GitHub authentication in the Integration Service guide describes the full connection setup, including prerequisites and advanced settings.
