How to connect Mailhook and Github
Create a New Scenario to Connect Mailhook and Github
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 Mailhook, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Mailhook or Github will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Mailhook or Github, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Mailhook Node
Select the Mailhook node from the app selection panel on the right.

Mailhook
Configure the Mailhook
Click on the Mailhook node to configure it. You can modify the Mailhook URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Github Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Mailhook node, select Github from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Github.

Authenticate Github
Now, click the Github node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Github settings. Authentication allows you to use Github through Latenode.
Configure the Mailhook and Github Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Mailhook and Github Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- 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.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Mailhook, Github, 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 Mailhook and Github integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Mailhook and Github (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Mailhook and Github
Mailhook + Github + Slack: When a new email is received via Mailhook, the flow checks if the email content indicates a bug report. If so, it automatically creates a new issue in Github and sends a notification to a Slack channel.
Github + Mailhook + Google Sheets: This flow is triggered when a new issue is created in Github. The details of the new issue are then sent to Mailhook, which formats the data into an email. The email is parsed, and the issue details are then saved to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for tracking and reporting.
