From GitHub Issue to Task in 30 Seconds: Two-Way Integration That Actually Works

Most "GitHub integrations" in PM tools are read-only — you can see commits next to a task if you remember to paste the SHA. WorkVib's GitHub integration is bidirectional and event-driven. Issues create tasks. PRs link themselves to tasks. Zero manual paste required.

Issues → Tasks

Connect a repo to your workspace. Add the webhook URL we generate. From that moment:

• Every new GitHub issue → a WorkVib task in the repo's default project
• Title prefixed with [GH #123] for quick reference
• Issue body becomes the task description
• Labels like urgent or P0 map to High priority
• Link back to the GitHub issue is preserved

PRs → Task activity

When a PR is opened with a branch name like feature/PROJ-42 or fix/task-123, WorkVib finds the matching task and posts the PR as an activity log entry — clickable, with PR title and reviewer status. When the PR closes, the task gets a status nudge.

Why webhooks beat polling

Most "GitHub sync" features run on a 5-minute cron. We use webhooks with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification — events arrive in seconds, and we reject anything not signed by GitHub's secret. Faster, cheaper, more secure.

Setup time: 2 minutes

1. Settings → Integrations → GitHub → Add Repo
2. Copy the generated webhook URL and secret
3. In your GitHub repo: Settings → Webhooks → Add → paste, select Issues + Pull Requests events
4. Done

What's not yet there

We're transparent: GitLab and Bitbucket aren't yet supported (on the roadmap). Slack import isn't there (also roadmap). If those are blockers, tell us — we prioritize based on requests.

Pair with…

The webhook system that powers this also drives outbound webhooks — connect WorkVib events to Zapier, Make, or any HTTPS endpoint. Combined, GitHub→Task and Task→Anywhere give you a full automation loop without a third-party sync tool.
