Common Questions

To use GitHub in your workflow, you will first need to connect GitHub to Built.io Flow.

To do this, drag any GitHub action listed under GitHub service on the canvas. For configuring GitHub triggers, double-click the Start icon on the canvas and select GitHub. Then click on the Add New option listed under the Authorize GitHub field in the configuration window. You will be redirected to a new window where you will be prompted to allow a set of permissions to Built.io Flow. Click ALLOW.

After this, you will be prompted to login to your GitHub account. Once are logged in, you will be redirected to the permission window where you need to authorize Built.io Flow.

Once you click the Authorize built-flow button, you’ll be redirected to the Add Authorization window on the canvas.

Rename the authorization as per your choice and click ADD. You can now see the added authorization under the Authorize GitHub field. Once added, this authorization will be available in all GitHub actions and triggers.

Here are two ways by which you can define issue milestones in the Milestone field. 

1) Select the milestone
2) Specify it 

To select the milestone, click the drop-down icon in the Milestone field. You’ll get a list of the milestones available in your repository. Select the milestone in which you want to create the issue.

You can see the number of that milestone in the URL as shown in the preceding image. Enter this number in the Milestone field and save the action. Once you run the action, the issue will get created in the specified milestone.
