- Labels / tags
- Assignees
Step-by-step guide
How to connect AWS to GitHub
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active AWS account with API credentials
- An active GitHub account with repository access
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate AWS
Click "Add Connection" and select AWS from the app directory. You'll be redirected to AWS's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your cloud resources and services. You select which services and regions the integration can interact with.
- Step 03
Authenticate GitHub
Same process for GitHub. Click "Add Connection," select GitHub, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: webhook received in aws or new commit pushed in github. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create issue in github. Map the data fields between AWS and GitHub so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between AWS and GitHub. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Benefits
Why connect AWS and GitHub?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect AWS to GitHub?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both AWS and GitHub via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing infrastructure & cloud events to developer tools actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between AWS and GitHub?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new AWS events to GitHub actions, trigger GitHub updates when AWS data changes, create GitHub records from AWS events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the AWS and GitHub integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your AWS-to-GitHub workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my AWS data secure when connected to GitHub?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your AWS or GitHub passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your infrastructure & cloud data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between AWS and GitHub?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either AWS or GitHub. For example, create a workflow where AWS events update GitHub, and a separate one where GitHub changes sync back to AWS. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect AWS and GitHub?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use AWS and GitHub, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
