GitHub + Plane Integration
Connecting GitHub (productivity) and Plane (project management) reduces the gap between productivity and project management in your team's daily workflow. There's no native connector, but both tools work with Zapier and Make — the workflow below covers the fastest path.
Integration Status
Via automation platform
No direct native connector between GitHub and Plane, but both tools support Zapier and Make. Most PM workflows can be replicated with a few zaps.
What teams use this integration for
Sync status automatically
When work progresses in GitHub, reflect that change in Plane automatically — reducing manual status updates and keeping stakeholders informed without extra effort.
Centralise team notifications
Route GitHub activity — new comments, assignments, and status changes — into Plane so your team stays informed in the tool they already have open.
Automate weekly reporting
Pull GitHub velocity, completed tasks, and blockers into Plane for weekly team reviews, sprint retrospectives, or stakeholder updates.
Connect planning to delivery
Link GitHub roadmap items to work tracked in Plane, giving stakeholders visibility from strategy to shipped — without switching between tools.
How to set it up
- In GitHub settings, check the Integrations section for a direct Plane connector (GitHub supports 20+ native integrations — Plane may be listed).
- If no native connector exists, open Zapier or Make and search for both GitHub and Plane. Both tools are likely available as triggers and actions.
- Choose your trigger: a common starting point is "New task in GitHub" triggering an action in Plane, or vice versa. Start with one automation before building a full workflow.
- Connect and authorise both accounts in the automation platform. Use accounts with the right workspace permissions — read access isn't enough for write actions.
- Run a test with a live item. Check that data maps correctly (task titles, assignees, due dates) and adjust field mappings before activating for the team.
