Send events to Squadcast from GitHub

This document will help you integrate GitHub with Squadcast.

GitHub is a provider of Internet hosting for software development and version control using Git. It offers the distributed version control and source code management functionality of Git, plus its own features.

Route detailed events from GitHub to the right users in Squadcast.

How to integrate GitHub with Squadcast

In Squadcast: Using GitHub as an Alert Source

(1) From the navigation bar on the left, select Services. Pick the applicable Team from the Team-picker on the top. Next, click on Alert Sources for the applicable Service

(2) Search for GitHub from the Alert Source drop-down and copy the Webhook URL

Important

For an Alert Source to turn active (indicated by a green dot - Receiving alerts against the name of the Alert Source in the drop-down), you can either generate a test alert or wait for a real-time alert to be generated by the Alert Source.

An Alert Source is active if there is a recorded incident via that Alert Source for the Service in the last 30 days.

In GitHub: Create a Squadcast Webhook

You can configure a webhook for a group or a project.

(1) Click on your user icon on the top right, under Your repositories or Your organizations, navigate to Settings

(2) Selecy Webhooks, then select Add webhook

(3) Paste the previously copied Webhook from Squadcast into the Payload URL field, and select Content type as application/json

(3) In Which events would you like to trigger this webhook section, choose Let me select individual events and select the below events to trigger the Webhook. Next, click on Add webhook

Issues
Pushes
Pull Requests
Releases
Repository Vulnerability Alerts

NOTE:

This integration supports the below GitHub events:

Issues (Supports auto-resolution)
Pushes
Pull Requests (Supports auto-resolution)
Releases
Repository Vulnerability Alerts (Supports auto-resolution)

That is it, you are good to go! Everytime an Issue, Push, Pull Request or a Release event occurs in GitHub, an incident would be created in Squadcast. When an Issue or a Pull Request is closed in GitHub, the corresponding incident in Squadcast will be automatically resolved for it. However, for Pushes and Releases, users will have to manually resolve the associated incidents in Squadcast.
