Automatically track development work by monitoring GitHub commits and pull requests, posting progress updates to Slack, and logging time in project management tools.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub

Configure repository webhooks

Set up webhooks in your GitHub repositories to trigger on push events, pull request creation, and pull request merges. Configure the webhook URL to point to Zapier or n8n for processing.

2

Slack

Post development progress updates

When webhooks trigger, automatically post formatted messages to your team's Slack channel showing who committed what, to which repository, and include commit messages. Use different channels for different project types.

3

Toggl

Log development time automatically

Create time entries in Toggl based on GitHub activity. Use commit timestamps to calculate work sessions, tag entries by repository and project, and assign to the correct team member based on GitHub username mapping.
