GitHub Actions for GitKraken Boards

You can now automate the manipulation of cards on your GitKraken Boards using GitHub Actions. Links to GitKraken Boards cards from within a Pull Request description or commit message can trigger actions such as:

Move card(s) to any column on your board
Create a card
Add a label to a card(s)
Assign a user to a card(s)
Add a comment to a card(s)

Actions

`Parse Glo Links`	Parse your Pull Request description for links to cards
`Change Column`	Change the column of a card(s)
`Add Label`	Add an existing label to a card(s)
`Assign User`	Assign a GitKraken Boards user to a card(s)
`Add Comment`	Add a comment to a card(s)

View our actions page for the most up-to-date content.

Example

Move linked GitKraken Boards cards to the Deployed column when a PR is merged on GitHub.

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) in your GitKraken account. Actions will need read/write access only.

Note: All actions taken by this user will automatically update the cards in GitKraken Boards.

Add the Access Token for the PAT as the value for a secret in your repository settings on GitHub.

Set up a workflow for your repository on GitHub that will trigger the necessary actions (you will add the secret name as the authToken).
