Github Issues Integration with Thunai

GitHub Issues is a project management and issue tracking tool teams use to plan, track, and manage software development, IT projects, and other workflows. The integration of GitHub with Thunai allows seamless issues creation and management, automating workflows and improving collaboration between teams. Thunai enhances github’s capabilities by automating the creation of tasks, issues based on requests or activities, streamlining project management for teams.

Step 1: Log in to Thunai and Connect to GitHub Issues

  1. Open the Thunai application.
  2. In the menu, click on the application and then select the "GitHub Issues" option.
  3. Click the "Connect" button.
  4. Enter the following details:
    • Repository Owner Name: Enter the Respository Owner Name associated with your  GitHub account.
    • Repository Name: Enter your Repository Name. 
    • API Token: Use the API token generated from your GitHub user profile under the developer settings. (Follow Step 2 to get the API token)
  5. After filling in the details, click the "Configure" button.

Step 2: Create an API Token in GitHub

  1. Log in to your GitHub account.
  2. Navigate to Profile> Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens.

  1. Click Generate new token.
  2. If you choose Classic token:
    1. Check the required scopes (for example):
      1. repo → full repo access
      2. workflow → to trigger GitHub Actions
      3. user → for profile info

      4. gist → to manage gists


Set Expiration:

Choose when the token expires (e.g., 30 days, 90 days, or No expiration).

Generate Token:

  • Click Generate token.
  • Copy it immediately – GitHub will not show it again.

Step 3: Test the Integration

  1. Return to the Thunai application and verify the integration with GitHub Issues.
  2. Once connected, Thunai will be able to create Issues  when new requests are made.

Important Notes:

  • Ensure the API token you generate in GitHub has sufficient permissions to create and manage issues.
  • If you encounter any issues, double-check the details entered in both github and Thunai (owner name, repository name, API token).
