# Connect Clubhouse to GitHub > Automatically sync Clubhouse stories with GitHub issues, pull requests, and commits so your engineering and product teams are always working from the same picture. **Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/clubhouse-github-integrations/ **Clubhouse connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/clubhouse-integrations/ **Clubhouse documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/clubhouse **GitHub connector:** https://tray.ai/connectors/github-integrations/ **GitHub documentation:** https://tray.ai/documentation/connectors/service/github ## Overview 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. ## Use cases ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### 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 ### Sync GitHub Milestones with Clubhouse Epics When a new GitHub milestone is created or updated, tray.ai can reflect those changes as Clubhouse epics or iterations, keeping release planning consistent between both platforms. Engineering teams that plan sprints and milestones in GitHub can keep the product roadmap in Clubhouse synchronized without manual re-entry. Completion percentages, due dates, and associated stories flow between both systems automatically. - Aligns release milestones between GitHub and Clubhouse planning layers - Reduces duplication when managing epics and release schedules - Gives product and engineering teams a unified view of release readiness ## Templates ### GitHub PR Merged → Move Clubhouse Story to Done This template listens for merged pull request events in GitHub and automatically finds the associated Clubhouse story by matching the PR branch name or description to a story ID, then transitions the story state to 'Completed' and posts a comment with the merge details. Connectors used: GitHub, Clubhouse ### New Clubhouse Story → Create GitHub Issue When a new story is created in Clubhouse and tagged for a specific engineering team or project, this template automatically creates a mirrored GitHub issue in the designated repository, mapping story fields to issue labels, assignees, and milestones. Connectors used: Clubhouse, GitHub ### GitHub Issue Opened → Create Clubhouse Bug Story This template monitors a GitHub repository for newly opened issues labeled as bugs and automatically generates a corresponding Clubhouse story in the bug backlog, preserving all context and linking back to the original GitHub issue. Connectors used: GitHub, Clubhouse ### Clubhouse Story State Change → Update GitHub Issue Status Whenever a Clubhouse story moves to a new workflow state, this template updates the corresponding GitHub issue — adding labels, reassigning, or closing the issue — to reflect the current state of product work. Connectors used: Clubhouse, GitHub ### GitHub Commit Pushed → Log Activity on Clubhouse Story This template monitors GitHub push events, extracts Clubhouse story IDs from commit messages, and appends commit details as activity comments on the relevant Clubhouse stories, providing a real-time development log. Connectors used: GitHub, Clubhouse ### GitHub Milestone Created → Create Clubhouse Epic When engineering creates a new milestone in GitHub to represent an upcoming release, this template automatically generates a corresponding Clubhouse epic with matching name, due date, and description, keeping roadmap planning synchronized. Connectors used: GitHub, Clubhouse ## Challenges Tray.ai solves ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### Managing Multi-Repository GitHub Environments Large engineering organizations often have dozens of GitHub repositories, each owned by a different team and corresponding to different Clubhouse projects. Routing story and issue data to the correct repository without hardcoding each mapping is a real headache. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai supports dynamic repository routing by letting workflows look up the correct GitHub repository at runtime based on Clubhouse story metadata such as project name, team, or label. A centralized configuration data store within tray.ai can hold your team-to-repository mapping, making it easy to update routing rules without touching workflow logic. ### Authenticating Securely Across Both Platforms at Scale As teams grow and multiple GitHub organizations or Clubhouse workspaces come into scope, managing OAuth tokens, personal access tokens, and API credentials across all environments — without exposing secrets or creating brittle single-token dependencies — gets genuinely difficult. **How Tray.ai helps:** tray.ai's centralized credential management and configurable connector authentication model lets teams securely store and rotate GitHub and Clubhouse API tokens without embedding them in workflow logic. Role-based access controls ensure only authorized team members can view or modify credentials, and tray.ai's connector framework handles token refresh and error recovery automatically. ## Learn more - Intelligent Integration: https://tray.ai/platform/intelligent-ipaas/ - Merlin Agent Builder: https://tray.ai/platform/merlin-agent-builder/ - Agent Gateway for MCP: https://tray.ai/platform/agent-gateway/ - Book a demo: https://tray.ai/contact/
