GitHub Integrations with Bit Flows – Automate DevOps Workflows

Estimated reading: 5 minutes 252 views

GitHub Integrations: Millions of developers and businesses call GitHub home. Whether you’re scaling your development process or just learning how to code.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to integrate Bit Form with GitHub, where Bit Form acts as the trigger and GitHub is the action. Once the integration is complete, your form submissions will automatically create or update data in your GitHub repository—such as logging issues, updating project boards, or managing workflows.

This step-by-step, beginner-friendly tutorial is designed to make the setup process simple and efficient—helping you streamline development tasks, automate issue tracking, and keep your projects organized directly from your WordPress site.

Authorization of GitHub Integrations as Action

To set GitHub as an action in Bit Flows, first open your Bit Flows Dashboard, then either create a new flow or open an existing one. In the Flow Builder, click the plus (+) icon to add an action. From the list of available apps, search for and select GitHub.

After selecting your preferred action, the next step is to choose an event. For example, in this case, we’ve selected the “Create a Gist” event.

  • Create a Gist
  • Create an Issue
  • Create an Issue Comment
  • Get an User
  • Get a Repository

After selecting the action event, a new popup will appear. Here, you need to connect your GitHub account. If you’ve already connected GitHub before and want to use the same account, simply select it from the “Select Connection” dropdown. If not, click on “Add Connection” to create a new one.

If you’ve already created a connection earlier and want to use it with the same account, simply select it from the “Select Connection” dropdown. This saves time and avoids creating duplicate connections.


When you click the Add Connection button, you’ll be prompted to enter a name for your connection and supply your API Key as value.

To set up GitHub integrations with Bit Flows, you’ll need GitHub API Key. Follow these steps to get it.

  • Log in to your GitHub account.
  • Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
  • Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
  • In the left sidebar of the settings page, scroll down and click Developer settings.
  • Under Personal access tokens, click Tokens (classic).
  • Click on Generate new token → then select Generate new token (classic).
  • Fill in the details:
    • Token name
    • Description
    • Resource owner
    • Expiration
    • Repository access
    • Permissions
  • Click Generate token to create it.
  • Copy the generated API Token.
  • Paste the token into the API Token field in Bit Flows.

Once you have successfully entered your GitHub API Token, click “Connect” button to proceed.

When you click the Test Run button, the output will be displayed just above it. However, please note that Test Run results are not recorded in the logs.

You also have the option to test the full flow. You can either click “Listen Response” and then run the trigger event (e.g., submit the form), or use existing data to test the integration and make sure everything works correctly.

After completing all the steps, click the “Logs” icon at the top-right corner of the Flow Builder to view your integration logs. Logs help you verify if the trigger and action worked correctly and make it easier to spot and fix any issues.

That’s it! You’ve successfully set up an automation in Bit Flows to connect Bit Form with GitHub. Now, whenever someone submits your form, the specified action (like creating a Gist or repository update) will be automatically triggered in GitHub.

This integration helps you streamline development workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and keep your projects organized—directly from your WordPress site. For further guidance or to explore more powerful integration options, be sure to check out our detailed User Guide.
