Question 1

How do I get WhatsApp alerts for new GitHub pull requests?

Accepted Answer

Use the GitHub on pull request trigger, which fires on opened, closed, and merged activity. Wire it to a WhatsApp send text message node and include the PR title and URL from the trigger payload.

Question 2

Can I create a GitHub issue from a WhatsApp message?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with the WhatsApp receive message operation, then connect a GitHub create issue node. Map the message text into the issue body and set a fixed title or derive one from the message.

Question 3

Which GitHub events can drive a WhatsApp notification?

Accepted Answer

The GitHub node provides triggers for issues, issue comments, pull requests, pushes, releases, and stars. Any of these can start a workflow that ends in a WhatsApp message to whoever needs to know.

Question 4

Should I use a WhatsApp template for GitHub alerts?

Accepted Answer

If alerts go to someone outside an active 24-hour conversation window, use the send template message operation with an approved template. For ongoing back-and-forth threads, plain text messages are fine.

Question 5

Can I notify a different person depending on the repository?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After the GitHub trigger, add a conditional or switch node that branches on the repository name, then send the WhatsApp message to the phone number assigned to that project.
