It’s important to note that monday.com only accesses the necessary data, such as names and locations of your data, to ensure functionality. These permissions include:

• Access to your code - Specific to the TODO recipe, monday.com reads the changes on the PR, without saving the code, in order to connect it to your monday item. 
• Issues - monday.com needs to access information regarding issues in order to trigger the relevant monday automation
• Metadata - monday.com needs access to a collection of read-only endpoints with metadata in order to trigger the relevant monday automation. These endpoints do not provide sensitive, private repository information.
• Pull requests - monday.com needs to read changes in the PR, as well as access writing permissions regarding pull requests, in order to trigger the relevant monday automation and monday two-way sync recipes

Add it to your workflow 

To add the new GitHub integration recipes to your desired board, you can go to that board and click on "Integrate" in the upper right corner:

Once you're in the Integrations Center, search for "GitHub" in the search bar:

Note:  Our "old" GitHub integration will still be in the Integrations Center, so you'll need to scroll past that one and click on "GitHub (New Integration)" under the Apps section instead.

Click on the "GitHub (New Integration)" banner and you will find the recipes our integration offers:

Then you can simply select the recipes you want to add to your board.

Create a two-way sync

A two-way sync occurs when data is being both pushed from monday.com into GitHub and pulled from GitHub into monday.com. This makes it so that your data matches within both platforms and remains up-to-date.

The nature of this recipe allows you to choose the direction of your sync in order to create a two-way sync between GitHub and monday.com.

Setting up the two-way sync

When you're mapping "these fields", you will select the field in GitHub, the field in monday.com, and the direction that you want the sync to occur. To create a two-way sync, select "both ways".

For example, using the GIF below, if you want to map your item's "Owner" column on monday.com to the "Assignee" field in GitHub, you will select those fields beneath the respective company's logo. Then, under the "Choose direction" dropdown, choose "both ways" to indicate that the information will travel in both directions.

What does the "item ID" mean in some of the recipes?

Great question! Some of the integration recipes need a "unique connection" between monday.com and GitHub in order to sync the two platforms, and the item ID serves as that unique number associated with the item.

Note: You must put a "#" symbol in front of the number in GitHub in order for the monday.com Item ID Column to recognize the connection. Ex: It must read "#376479" in GitHub, not "376479". 

For example, let's take the integration recipe: "When a pull request is created in this repository, and item id is mentioned in the pull request name, change status to something." Once the pull request is created in GitHub, the system uses the item ID in monday.com to identify which item it needs to change.

Tip: You can click once on the Item ID column to easily copy the value automatically from your board.

Will the new integration work even if I don't install the application in GitHub?

No, the integration is not possible without the application being installed in GitHub.

Can I connect my monday.com account to multiple organizations in GitHub? 

Yes! You can connect your monday.com accounts to multiple GitHub organizations.

How can I un-sync GitHub from monday.com?
