Question 1

Can NoClick create a GitHub issue from an incoming email?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Use Gmail's read-emails operation to pull messages from your inbox, optionally filtered by label, then pass the subject and body into GitHub's create-issue operation. You can map the email subject to the issue title and the body to the issue description.

Question 2

How do I get notified by email when a pull request is opened?

Accepted Answer

Add a GitHub node configured to list pull requests, then send each new one through Gmail's send-email operation. You can include the PR title, author, and link in the message body using node references.

Question 3

Does this need a GitHub webhook?

Accepted Answer

No. NoClick can poll GitHub on a schedule using list operations such as list issues, list pull requests, or list commits, then act only on items it has not seen before. A cron trigger drives the polling interval.

Question 4

Can I email a digest instead of one message per event?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Collect the results of a GitHub list operation, format them into a single block of text in a function or template step, and send one Gmail message containing the full digest.

Question 5

Will replies sent through Gmail keep the original thread?

Accepted Answer

Gmail's reply operation posts into an existing thread when you supply the thread or message identifier, so notifications about a GitHub issue can land in the same conversation as the reporter's original email.
