Connectors / Integration

Connect Clubhouse and GitHub to Keep Story Tracking and Code Development in Sync

Automatically sync Clubhouse stories with GitHub issues, pull requests, and commits so your engineering and product teams are always working from the same picture.

Clubhouse + GitHub integration

Clubhouse manages your product stories and epics. GitHub is where the code actually gets written. When these two tools don't talk to each other, engineers burn time switching between platforms and product managers are left guessing whether a story is actually done or just abandoned. Connecting Clubhouse with GitHub on tray.ai creates a bidirectional data bridge so that every commit, pull request, and merge automatically shows up in your project management workflow — no manual updates required.

Engineering teams that use both Clubhouse and GitHub without an integration are stuck doing a lot of tedious bookkeeping. Developers have to remember to move stories after merging a PR. Product managers manually cross-reference GitHub activity to follow sprint progress. The result is stale story statuses, missed handoffs, and velocity numbers nobody trusts. Connecting Clubhouse and GitHub through tray.ai fixes this: story states advance automatically when branches are created or PRs are merged, commits get linked to the stories they address, GitHub issues can be created directly from Clubhouse stories, and every stakeholder gets an accurate, real-time view of where development stands.

Automate & integrate Clubhouse + GitHub

Automating Clubhouse and GitHub business processes or integrating data is made easy with Tray.ai.

Use case

Auto-Update Story State on Pull Request Events

When a developer opens, reviews, or merges a GitHub pull request linked to a Clubhouse story, the story's workflow state automatically advances to the right stage — moving from 'In Development' to 'In Review' or 'Ready for Deploy', for example. Your Clubhouse board reflects actual code activity without anyone having to manually update tickets. Product managers can see where each feature stands without asking.

  • Eliminates manual story state updates after every PR action
  • Keeps Clubhouse boards accurate without relying on developer discipline
  • Reduces context switching for developers between GitHub and Clubhouse

Use case

Create GitHub Issues from Clubhouse Stories

When a new Clubhouse story is created and assigned to an engineering team, tray.ai can automatically generate a corresponding GitHub issue in the right repository, pre-populated with the story title, description, labels, and acceptance criteria. Engineers get a GitHub-native work item to reference without anyone entering the same data twice. Labels and milestones in GitHub can be mapped directly to Clubhouse story types and epics.

  • Saves time by eliminating duplicate data entry across both platforms
  • Keeps GitHub Issues and Clubhouse Stories consistently in sync
  • Maintains repository-level traceability back to product requirements

Use case

Link Git Commits to Clubhouse Stories Automatically

By monitoring GitHub push events, tray.ai can parse commit messages for Clubhouse story IDs and automatically attach those commits as external links or activity log entries on the corresponding story. Product managers and tech leads get a complete audit trail of every code change tied to a feature or bug fix — no need to hope that developers remember to follow commit message conventions.

  • Creates full code-to-story traceability automatically
  • Gives product managers development progress visibility without leaving Clubhouse
  • Builds an auditable history of code changes per feature or epic

Use case

Sync GitHub Labels with Clubhouse Story Labels

When labels are added or removed on a GitHub issue, tray.ai reflects those changes on the corresponding Clubhouse story, and vice versa. This bidirectional label sync keeps priority flags, bug classifications, and team ownership tags consistent across both tools. Teams using both platforms for planning and execution maintain a single source of truth for how work is categorized.

  • Maintains label consistency across both tools without manual reconciliation
  • Improves reporting accuracy by keeping categorization current
  • Reduces confusion for team members working across both platforms

Use case

Automatically Close Clubhouse Stories When PRs Are Merged

When a GitHub pull request is successfully merged into the main branch, tray.ai can automatically move the associated Clubhouse story to 'Completed' or 'Done' and notify the relevant stakeholders via Slack or email. Completed work gets marked done consistently, without depending on developers to close stories post-merge. Sprint and release reporting in Clubhouse stays accurate with no manual effort.

  • Closes stories promptly when code is shipped
  • Keeps sprint velocity and completion metrics accurate in Clubhouse
  • Triggers downstream notifications so QA and stakeholders are informed immediately

Use case

Create Clubhouse Bug Stories from GitHub Issues

When a bug is filed directly in GitHub — by a developer or through an automated testing tool — tray.ai can automatically create a corresponding Clubhouse story in the right team's bug backlog, complete with severity labels, description, and a link back to the source GitHub issue. Bugs surfaced in GitHub are immediately visible to product managers for prioritization and never get lost in a repository nobody's watching.

  • Prevents GitHub-filed bugs from getting lost
  • Centralizes bug tracking and prioritization within Clubhouse
  • Preserves the full GitHub issue context when creating Clubhouse stories

Challenges Tray.ai solves

Common obstacles when integrating Clubhouse and GitHub — and how Tray.ai handles them.

Challenge

Matching Stories to Issues Across Platforms Without a Shared ID

Clubhouse and GitHub use entirely separate identifier systems, which makes it hard to reliably link a Clubhouse story to its counterpart GitHub issue — especially when the integration is added after work has already begun and records exist in both systems with no cross-reference.

How Tray.ai helps

tray.ai lets you build flexible matching logic using custom fields, branch name parsing, commit message conventions, or external link fields on Clubhouse stories to establish and maintain reliable cross-platform references. You can also back-populate links on existing records using bulk-processing workflows.

Challenge

Handling Bidirectional Updates Without Infinite Sync Loops

When both Clubhouse and GitHub can trigger updates on each other, a change in one system can fire a webhook that updates the other, which fires another webhook — and suddenly you have an infinite loop flooding both platforms and corrupting data.

How Tray.ai helps

tray.ai's workflow logic lets you implement idempotency checks and conditional branching that detect whether a change came from the integration itself or from a human action, stopping recursive update loops before they start. You can use timestamp comparisons, source-field flags, or tray.ai's built-in data store to track the origin of each change.

Challenge

Mapping Divergent Workflow States and Issue Statuses

Clubhouse uses fully customizable workflow states that vary by team and project, while GitHub issues use a simple open/closed model supplemented by labels. Keeping these two different status paradigms in sync requires careful mapping logic that accounts for every possible state transition.

How Tray.ai helps

tray.ai's transformation capabilities let you build a detailed mapping table between Clubhouse workflow states and GitHub label or status combinations. Using tray.ai's data mapper and conditional logic operators, you can define exactly how each Clubhouse state transition maps to a corresponding GitHub action, and update the mapping as your workflows change.

Templates
