Connect GitHub to Notion
When an issue is opened in GitHub, Genexti creates a database row in Notion — automatically, with an AI writing the content on the way through. You describe it in plain English; there's nothing to code and no separate AI subscription to buy.
Engineering activity matters to people who never open GitHub — support, sales, leadership. Everything ends up in the workspace your team already plans and writes in.

Three of the most common ways teams wire these two together. Each one is a single workflow in Genexti.
An issue is opened → Create a database row
The moment an issue is opened in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and creates a database row in Notion.
A pull request is merged → Add a page with the full details
The moment a pull request is merged in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and adds a page with the full details in Notion.
A release is published → Update an existing entry
The moment a release is published in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and updates an existing entry in Notion.
How to connect GitHub to Notion
Describe it in plain English
Type what you want — "when an issue is opened in GitHub, create a database row in Notion". Genexti's AI builds the whole workflow, both steps included, and lays it out on the canvas so you can see exactly what it will do.
Connect both accounts once
Connect GitHub and Notion from the connections screen. You do this once — every future workflow reuses the same connection, and credentials are stored encrypted, never in the workflow itself.
Run it, then turn it on
Run it once and inspect the real output of each step. When it looks right, activate it. From then on it runs by itself, and you can see every execution with its full input and output.
Why use Genexti for this instead of Zapier?
Most tools can move a issue from GitHub into Notion. The difference is what happens in between. Genexti includes the AI, so the issue arrives in Notion already summarised, categorised and written up like a person did it — not as a raw dump of fields. And because the AI is part of the platform, it isn't metered separately or billed per task.
Genexti is also a website builder and a code IDE in the same account, so the same subscription that runs this automation also builds the site the issue came from.
GitHub to Notion — FAQ
How do I connect GitHub to Notion?
In Genexti you describe it in plain English — "when an issue is opened in GitHub, create a database row in Notion" — and the AI builds the workflow, both steps included. You connect each account once and it runs on its own from then on.
Do I need to write any code?
No. There is nothing to install and no script to maintain. If you'd rather see the detail, every step opens into an advanced view where you can edit fields, expressions and the raw JSON — but you never have to.
Can the AI write the content that goes into Notion?
Yes, and that's the difference. Genexti includes the AI, so an AI step can summarise the issue, pull out the fields that matter and phrase a database row properly before it reaches Notion. There's no separate AI subscription and no per-task AI charge.
Is connecting GitHub and Notion free?
You can build and run this on the free plan — no credit card. Paid plans raise the limits, but the AI is included on every plan rather than billed per task.
