1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for GitHub and Freedcamp Integration

Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation tool that facilitates seamless integration between various applications, including GitHub and Freedcamp. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to create Freedcamp tasks automatically from GitHub issues using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows your technical and support teams to stay responsive to issues by creating tasks in Freedcamp whenever a new issue is logged in GitHub.

To get started, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the Pabbly website. Once there, you can sign up for a free account or log in if you already have one. This platform does not require any coding skills, making it accessible for everyone.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for GitHub Integration

After logging into Pabbly Connect, the first step is to create a workflow. Click on the plus sign to create a new workflow and name it something relevant, like ‘GitHub to Freedcamp Integration.’ This naming helps in identifying the workflow easily later on.

Next, you will see a trigger window. Select GitHub as your application and choose the trigger event as ‘Issues.’ Follow these steps to connect:

• Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your GitHub account.
• Choose the repository from which you want to track issues.

After saving your settings, you can test the connection by creating a new issue in GitHub. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect captures the necessary details from your GitHub account.

3. Formatting the Date for Freedcamp Tasks

Once the GitHub issue is created, the next step is to format the date correctly for Freedcamp. Since Freedcamp requires a specific date format without time zone details, you will use the ‘Date and Time Formatter’ in Pabbly Connect.

To format the date, follow these steps:

• Select ‘Date and Time Formatter’ as the action application.
• Choose the action event as ‘Format Date Only’.
• Map the date from the GitHub issue response.

After formatting the date, you will have it ready to create a new task in Freedcamp, ensuring compatibility with its requirements.

4. Creating a Task in Freedcamp Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have formatted the date, the next step is to create a task in Freedcamp. This is done by selecting Freedcamp as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choosing the action event as ‘Create Task’.

Here’s how to proceed:

Connect your Freedcamp account by entering the API key. Select the appropriate project and task list where the new task will be created. Map the title, description, and other details from the GitHub issue.

Once you have filled in all the required fields and mapped the necessary information, you can save and send the test request to create the task.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After setting up the integration, it’s crucial to test whether everything is functioning correctly. You can do this by creating a new issue in your GitHub repository and checking if a corresponding task appears in Freedcamp.

To verify, follow these steps:

Create a new issue in GitHub with a title and description. Refresh your Freedcamp account to see if the task has been created.

If the task appears with the correct details, your integration setup using Pabbly Connect is successful. This automation will now create Freedcamp tasks for every new GitHub issue, streamlining your workflow.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the creation of Freedcamp tasks from GitHub issues using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can enhance your project management efficiency and ensure that your team remains responsive to issues logged in GitHub. With Pabbly Connect, integrating applications has never been easier or more accessible.
