1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for GitHub Issue Generation

To begin generating GitHub issues from form submissions, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. If you don’t have an account, you can create one quickly and receive 100 free automation tasks each month.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start your automation. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Fluent Forms to GitHub Automation’. This will help you identify the automation easily later on.

2. Creating the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the ‘Choose App’ field, search for and select ‘Fluent Forms’ as your trigger application. Then, select the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new submissions from your form.

• Choose ‘Fluent Forms’ as the app.
• Select the trigger event: ‘New Form Submission’.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Now, integrate this webhook URL into your Fluent Forms settings on WordPress. This connection will enable Pabbly Connect to receive data from form submissions automatically.

3. Connecting Fluent Forms to Pabbly Connect

To connect Fluent Forms with Pabbly Connect, navigate to your WordPress dashboard and locate the Fluent Forms plugin. Open the settings for the form you want to integrate. Under the ‘Webhooks’ section, paste the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

Ensure you save the settings after pasting the URL. This step is crucial as it allows the form submissions to trigger actions in Pabbly Connect. You will also need to select the specific form that you want to connect to the webhook.

4. Setting Up GitHub Integration in Pabbly Connect

After connecting your form, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. In the action step, search for and select ‘GitHub’ as the application. Choose the action event ‘Create an Issue’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to create a new issue in GitHub based on the form submission.

• Select ‘GitHub’ as the action app.
• Choose the action event: ‘Create an Issue’.
• Connect your GitHub account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will need to specify the repository where the issue should be created. Map the fields from the form submission to the GitHub issue fields, such as title and description, ensuring that the data flows seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration

Now that both the trigger and action are set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out the form on your website to simulate a user submission. Once submitted, Pabbly Connect will capture the data and create a new issue in your specified GitHub repository.

Check your GitHub repository to confirm that the new issue has been created successfully. This step verifies that the integration works as intended, and you can now automate the process of creating issues from form submissions effortlessly.

Conclusion

In summary, by using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the creation of GitHub issues from form submissions easily. This integration not only saves time but also enhances workflow efficiency by allowing you to focus on more important tasks. Start automating your GitHub issue management today!
