Development and automation
Turn customer reports into GitHub issues developers can use
“It is not working” is the beginning of a support conversation, not a complete engineering ticket. Bob gathers the missing details and connect the report to the GitHub issue workflow your team enables.
Bob turns a customer report into a GitHub issue with the expected result, what happened, and the next engineering step.
Keep customer impact attached to the technical report
Bob captures what the customer expected, what happened, and the steps that led to the problem. Supported GitHub tools can turn that intake into an issue or an update in the appropriate repository. Your engineers keep their existing workflow while receiving a more useful report.
Workflows
Gather reproducible details
Collect the affected feature, relevant environment, steps, and observed result without asking for secrets.
Prepare the issue
Use enabled issue or comment actions to preserve the problem statement and the customer-facing impact.
Connect follow-up to status
Consult permitted issue information and prepare an appropriate support update without treating an issue closure as proof of a production fix.
Example workflow
Example workflow
A customer reports that an export fails after selecting a date range. Bob gathers the range, expected behavior, and visible error, then prepares the GitHub issue. The development team receives the information needed to investigate and a reference to the support request.
Illustrative example, not a live execution log.
Connection and setup
Authorize the selected repositories, configure issue templates and destinations, and choose the supported read and write actions.
How Bob turns a conversation into a useful next step
Bob starts with the customer's request and the business information you approve. When the workflow needs a current record, Bob retrieves it from the connected service. When the next step changes a record or sends a message, Bob follows the permissions and approval steps you configure. The customer gets a useful next response, and your team gets a clear handoff when a person needs to take over.
Questions
Does Bob need permission to change code?
No. An issue-intake workflow can be scoped to the repository information and issue actions it needs.
Will customers see private repository details?
Only customer-appropriate information should be returned. Internal discussions, code, and security details must remain within the authorized audience.
Who decides what Bob can change or send?
You choose the records Bob reads and the actions he takes. A reply, a record update, or an outbound message follows the approval step you set for that workflow. See the pricing page for plans. This page does not list prices.
