Automate GitHub Pull Request Notes into Monday.com Cards (2025 No-Code Guide)
By Sima Team | June 8, 2025
TL;DR — Use GitHub webhooks or Zapier to pipe pull request notes and comments directly into Monday.com without writing any code. Ideal for agencies managing projects in Monday while developers live in GitHub.
Why Connect GitHub and Monday.com?
- Centralised context — Keep code discussions and project tasks aligned so everyone sees the same updates.
- Fewer manual updates — Developers don't have to copy-paste PR notes into Monday items.
- Faster reviews — PMs see code status right inside their Monday boards.
Prerequisites
| Tool | Free Plan OK? | What You Need |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub | ✅ | Repository admin access |
| Monday.com | ✅ | Workspace with access to the board where you want new items |
| Zapier (optional) | Free tier | For easier webhook handling |
If your team already uses Sima for visual QA, you can attach Sima feedback links right in the PR description to keep everything traceable.
Step 1 — Create a GitHub Webhook
- Go to Repo Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook.
- Payload URL: a Zapier catch hook or your own endpoint.
- Content type:
application/json. - Trigger: Pull request events.
- Save the webhook.
GitHub will now POST a JSON payload whenever someone opens or updates a PR.
Step 2 — Parse the Payload
With Zapier:
- Trigger: Webhooks → Catch Hook.
- Copy the webhook URL into GitHub.
- Test by opening a PR; Zapier will grab the payload.
- Use Code by Zapier or built-in Formatter to extract fields like
title,body, andhtml_url.
Step 3 — Create a Monday.com Item
- Action: Monday.com → Create Item.
- Choose your board and group (e.g.,
Dev Tasks). - Map the fields:
- Item Name:
{{pull_request.title}} - Updates:
{{pull_request.body}}+{{pull_request.html_url}} - Person: assign to the PR author.
- Item Name:
- Optionally set a status column to
"In Review".
Now every new pull request spawns a matching Monday card with a direct link back to GitHub.
Step 4 — Sync Comments Back to Monday.com
To capture review notes:
- Add another Zap step: GitHub → New Pull Request Review Comment.
- Use Create Update in Monday.com to append the comment text.
- Include the commenter's name and link.
This keeps the Monday card fully up to date without leaving GitHub.
Estimated ROI
| Task | Manual Time | Automated Time | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copy PR notes to Monday | 5 min/PR | 0 min | 5 min |
| Paste review comments | 3 min/PR | 0 min | 3 min |
| Total per PR | 8 min | 0 min | 8 min |
For a team processing 20 PRs a week, that's over 2.5 hours saved—time you can bill on higher-value work.
FAQs
Do I need Monday.com's Pro plan?
No—the API and basic automations work on the Standard plan. Zapier's Monday app also supports free tiers with limited tasks.
Can I push status updates back to GitHub?
Yes. Add another step to your Zap: Update Pull Request or leave a comment when the Monday item status changes.
What about Sima screenshots and bug notes?
Drop a Sima share link into the PR description and the Monday item updates will include it automatically. It's a quick way to connect visual feedback with code changes.
Final Takeaway
Automating GitHub PR notes into Monday.com removes a tedious handoff between devs and PMs. Spend 20 minutes setting up a webhook or Zap and you'll never copy-paste PR details again. Need help wiring Sima into the flow? Our team can show you how in a quick demo.
