Connect GitHub to ClickUp
When an issue is opened in GitHub, Genexti creates a task in the right list in ClickUp — 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. The task arrives already written, prioritised and in the right place.

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 task in the right list
The moment an issue is opened in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and creates a task in the right list in ClickUp.
A pull request is merged → Set its priority automatically
The moment a pull request is merged in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and sets its priority automatically in ClickUp.
A release is published → Attach the full context to it
The moment a release is published in GitHub, Genexti reads the issue, lets an AI write it up properly, and attaches the full context to it in ClickUp.
How to connect GitHub to ClickUp
Describe it in plain English
Type what you want — "when an issue is opened in GitHub, create a task in the right list in ClickUp". 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 ClickUp 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 ClickUp. The difference is what happens in between. Genexti includes the AI, so the issue arrives in ClickUp 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 ClickUp — FAQ
How do I connect GitHub to ClickUp?
In Genexti you describe it in plain English — "when an issue is opened in GitHub, create a task in the right list in ClickUp" — 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 ClickUp?
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 task properly before it reaches ClickUp. There's no separate AI subscription and no per-task AI charge.
Is connecting GitHub and ClickUp 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.
