How data flows
What syncs between GitHub and Google
When an event occurs in GitHub, the relevant data is automatically sent to Google. DeskFerry maps the fields between both apps so the data arrives in the right format — no manual formatting or exports required.
Data from GitHub
- Issues / PRs
- Commits
- Project items
- Labels / tags
- Assignees
Data from Google
- Events
- Logs
- Resource status
- Alerts
- Configuration data
Step-by-step guide
How to connect GitHub to Google
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active GitHub account with repository access
- An active Google account with API credentials
- 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 GitHub
Click "Add Connection" and select GitHub from the app directory. You'll be redirected to GitHub's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate Google
Same process for Google. Click "Add Connection," select Google, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your cloud resources and services. You select which services and regions the integration can interact with.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in github or webhook received in google. 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: send webhook in google. Map the data fields between GitHub and Google so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between GitHub and Google. 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 GitHub and Google?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect GitHub to Google?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both GitHub and Google via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to infrastructure & cloud actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between GitHub and Google?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new GitHub events to Google actions, trigger Google updates when GitHub data changes, create Google records from GitHub events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the GitHub and Google integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your GitHub-to-Google workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my GitHub data secure when connected to Google?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your GitHub or Google passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools 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 GitHub and Google?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either GitHub or Google. For example, create a workflow where GitHub events update Google, and a separate one where Google changes sync back to GitHub. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect GitHub and Google?
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 GitHub and Google, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
