How to connect Github and FreshBooks
Create a New Scenario to Connect Github and FreshBooks
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Github, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Github or FreshBooks will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Github or FreshBooks, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Github Node
Select the Github node from the app selection panel on the right.

- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Github, FreshBooks, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Github and FreshBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Github and FreshBooks (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Github and FreshBooks
Github + FreshBooks + Slack: When a Github issue is updated (specifically, when it is closed), create an invoice in FreshBooks based on the issue details and notify the project manager in Slack.
FreshBooks + Github + Jira: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks (instead of paid), automatically create a new issue in Github, and create a new issue in Jira to track the same feature request.
