Connect GitHub to Gmail — No Code Required
Automate the handoff between GitHub and Gmail using plain English. Describe what you want to happen and Vendarwon Flow builds and runs the workflow automatically — forever, in real time, without developer help.
Why teams connect GitHub to Gmail
Most teams use GitHub and Gmail as separate tools — which means important data created in one never reaches the other unless someone manually transfers it. Connecting them with Vendarwon Flow eliminates that handoff entirely: the moment something happens in GitHub, the right action fires in Gmail automatically, every time.
Every new lead email automatically creates a CRM contact with name, email, and context extracted
Incoming emails matching keywords instantly notify the right team member in Slack — zero forwarding
Emails from key senders automatically create tasks in Asana, Trello, or Linear with all the details pre-filled
What you can automate between GitHub and Gmail
When a new commit arrives in GitHub, automatically send an email automatically in Gmail — no manual work, no delay
Route specific GitHub commits from key sources and reply within an existing thread in Gmail the moment they arrive
Build a scheduled digest: collect GitHub activity over time and draft an email for your review in Gmail on a daily or weekly schedule
When a high-priority commit is detected in GitHub, forward an email to another address in Gmail with all the relevant context included
Filter GitHub commits by keyword, sender, or category — then send an email automatically in Gmail only for the ones that matter
Create a two-way feedback loop: every qualifying commit in GitHub triggers a record in Gmail that your team can track and act on
What you stop doing manually
GitHub is valuable — but without automation, it creates repetitive manual work. Here is what teams eliminate the moment they connect GitHub to Gmail:
Manually posting GitHub PR status or deployment news to Slack or team channels after each event
Creating project management tasks by hand every time a new GitHub issue is opened
Notifying stakeholders about releases by manually sending emails or Slack messages
How to set it up in 3 steps
Connect GitHub and Gmail

Describe your automation in plain English
Click New Workflow and type what you want to happen.

The AI reads your description and builds the complete workflow — triggers, actions, conditions, and all.
Activate and it runs forever
Review the workflow in the visual editor, adjust any details, then click Activate. From that moment, every qualifying commit in GitHub automatically triggers the right action in Gmail — no manual steps, no missed triggers, no babysitting required.

About GitHub and Gmail
GitHub
Developer
GitHub hosts over 100 million repositories and is where engineering teams spend most of their working day. The challenge is connecting GitHub activity — commits, pull requests, issues, deployments — to the non-engineering tools the rest of your company uses.
Available triggers
- new commit pushed
- pull request opened or merged
- new issue created
- deployment completed
Available actions
- create an issue
- add a comment to a PR
- trigger a repository dispatch
- log a deployment event
Gmail
Gmail is the world's most-used email client, trusted by 1.8 billion people and the majority of small businesses for customer communication and lead intake. The problem is that everything that arrives in the inbox stays there — someone has to manually read, copy, and act on it.
Available triggers
- new email received
- email from a specific sender
- email with a keyword in the subject
- email with an attachment
Available actions
- send an email automatically
- reply within an existing thread
- draft an email for your review
- forward an email to another address
Frequently asked questions
Does GitHub have a native Gmail integration?
GitHub and Gmail do not have a built-in direct integration that covers most real automation scenarios. Vendarwon Flow acts as the bridge — you describe what you want in plain English and it handles the API connections between both tools securely. No Zapier account, no developer, no webhook configuration needed.
What GitHub events can trigger the automation?
With Vendarwon Flow you can trigger automation from any of these GitHub events: New commit pushed; pull request opened or merged; new issue created; deployment completed. You can also combine triggers — for example, only fire the automation when a commit matches a specific keyword or comes from a particular source.
What can the automation do inside Gmail?
Once triggered, the workflow can perform any of these actions in Gmail: Send an email automatically; reply within an existing thread; draft an email for your review; forward an email to another address. You can chain multiple actions together — for example, send an email automatically and then reply within an existing thread.
How quickly does the automation run after something happens in GitHub?
In real time — typically within a few seconds of the triggering event. Vendarwon Flow runs continuously in the cloud, so there is no polling delay. The moment a new commit meets your conditions in GitHub, the workflow fires and the action in Gmail happens instantly, whether it is 2 PM or 2 AM.
Does the automation work with private repositories and internal tooling?
Yes. When you authorise GitHub in Vendarwon Flow, it works with all repositories and projects your account has access to — including private ones. The connection is secured with OAuth and your credentials are stored encrypted. You choose which repository or project to monitor when you set up the workflow.
