How to integrate Github with Zepel?

Sometimes your dev team can merge and close a pull request, but forget to complete the task. That can leave you with outdated information. With Zepel’s Github integration, your developers can now simply close a pull request and Zepel will complete the task for them.

In this article, we’ll see how you can set up your Zepel account to integrate with your Github repository.

Integrate Zepel with Github

Once you’re in your Zepel account, on the top left corner, click on your Account’s name.
From the dropdown, click on “Account Settings”.

Click on Settings & Members from Accounts dropdown

In the “Account Settings” popup, head over to the “Integrations” tab. You’ll find a list of all Integrations available in Zepel in this tab.

Head over to Integrations tab in Account Settings

Click on the “Enable” button next to Github.

Enable Github Integration

Now, login to your Github account and visit the repository you want to connect with your Zepel account.
From your repository’s settings, visit Webhooks tab.
Click on “Add webhook” button.

Add Zepel Webhook to Github

Copy the “Webhook URL” that is generated in your Zepel account and paste it in the “Payload URL” field in Github.
Copy the “Webhook Secret” that is generated in your Zepel account and paste it in the Secret field in Github.

Add URL to Github Webhook

Since Zepel integrates only with pull request closed event, under “Which events would you like to trigger this webhook?”, select “Let me select individual events”.
Now, uncheck “Pushes” and select “Pull requests”.

Github Webhook Events

Click on “Add Webhook”.

Your Zepel account is now integrated with your Github repository. Read how you can complete tasks every time you close a pull request.
