GitHub
Create GitHub issues from FeatureOS feedback, link existing issues, and keep statuses in sync with configurable two-way rules.
Feature requests live in FeatureOS. Code lives in GitHub. Without a bridge, product managers end up copying and pasting between the two, and context gets lost along the way. The GitHub + FeatureOS integration removes that friction.
Push customer feedback to GitHub as issues. Link existing issues to feedback posts. Set up sync rules so status changes flow automatically between both tools. When your dev team closes an issue, the FeatureOS post updates and voters find out their request shipped.
How to Connect GitHub to FeatureOS
- In FeatureOS, go to Dashboard > Organization Settings > Integrations > GitHub > Connect.
- Sign into GitHub and authorize FeatureOS. You can connect all repositories or pick specific ones. The admin running this setup needs access to all selected repos. Skip forked repositories.
- Once authorized, you land back in FeatureOS with your connected GitHub org and profile visible.
Automatically Push Feedback to GitHub Issues
Enable Automatic Push to GitHub to send FeatureOS posts to GitHub as issues based on status changes. Two trigger options:
- Push immediately after a post is submitted.
- Push after moderation approval (if you use moderation).
Pick one or more FeatureOS boards as triggers.
Syncing Statuses Between GitHub and FeatureOS
Create rules to keep things aligned:
- When any linked issue changes status, update the FeatureOS post.
- When all linked issues change status, update the FeatureOS post. Good for requests that require multiple PRs.
- When a FeatureOS post changes status, update linked GitHub issues.
Updates flow both ways once saved.
Creating and Linking GitHub Issues from FeatureOS
Create a GitHub issue: From any FeatureOS post, click Push to GitHub. Edit the title and description, select the repository, and push. A linked issue appears in GitHub immediately.
Link an existing issue: From a FeatureOS post, click Link Issue and search by title or issue ID. Links work in both directions.
Unlink: Remove the association from FeatureOS. The GitHub issue stays untouched.
Manage repo access: Change which repositories FeatureOS can see anytime in GitHub under Settings > Applications > Configure FeatureOS.
Disconnect: Go to Organization Settings > Integrations > GitHub > Configure > Disconnect in FeatureOS.
How GitHub + FeatureOS Helps Each Role
Product managers track feature development from FeatureOS without switching to GitHub. Developers see customer votes and comments inside their issues. Customers get notified when their requested features ship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the GitHub integration.
It connects FeatureOS feedback posts with GitHub issues, enabling automatic push, linking, and two-way status sync between product and engineering teams.
In FeatureOS, go to Dashboard → Organization Settings → Integrations → GitHub → Connect, sign in to GitHub, and authorize access.
Yes. You can configure rules to push posts immediately upon submission or only after moderation approval.
Yes. You can set rules so that when GitHub issues change status, FeatureOS posts update—and vice versa.
Yes. You can link many GitHub issues to a single post. Only one issue can be _created_ from a post, but you can link multiple existing ones.
Teams that want to streamline communication between product and engineering, ensuring that customer needs directly shape development.
