Push GitHub Leads to ClickUp

Why Route GitHub Developer Leads Into ClickUp

Many growth and DevRel teams live in ClickUp for task management. When GitLeads captures a developer signal — a new stargazer on your repo or a keyword mention in a GitHub issue — pushing that lead directly into ClickUp keeps prospecting visible alongside the rest of the team's work.

This is especially useful for small teams where one person handles outreach, content, and product simultaneously. A new ClickUp task per lead, filed in the right list, means no lead sits in an email or Slack message thread waiting to be actioned.

How GitLeads Delivers Leads to ClickUp

GitLeads does not have a native ClickUp integration, but the webhook output makes it trivial to connect:

• GitLeads webhook → Zapier → ClickUp task creation
• GitLeads webhook → Make (Integromat) → ClickUp task with custom fields
• GitLeads webhook → n8n self-hosted → ClickUp API task creation
• GitLeads webhook → your own API endpoint → ClickUp API

Each GitLeads webhook payload includes: name, GitHub username, email, company, bio, location, followers, top languages, signal type (stargazer or keyword), the matched repo or keyword, and the GitHub URL of the signal.

Zapier Setup: GitHub Leads to ClickUp Tasks

Step-by-step using Zapier (no code required):

1. In GitLeads dashboard → Integrations → Webhooks → copy your webhook endpoint URL
2. In Zapier: Create a new Zap. Trigger: "Webhooks by Zapier" → Catch Hook. Paste the URL back into GitLeads.
3. Add a test lead by triggering a signal (star your tracked repo from a test account).
4. In Zapier: Action → ClickUp → "Create Task".
5. Map fields: Task Name = "Lead: {{name}} ({{company}})", Description = full lead JSON block, List = your "GitHub Leads" list in ClickUp.
6. Add custom fields in ClickUp for GitHub Username, Email, Signal Type, Followers — map from webhook payload.
7. Turn on the Zap. Every new GitLeads signal creates a ClickUp task automatically.

Make (Integromat) Setup

Make offers more control over field mapping and conditional routing:

1. Create a scenario. Module 1: Webhooks → Custom Webhook. Copy URL to GitLeads.
2. Module 2: ClickUp → Create a Task. Authenticate your ClickUp workspace.
3. Set Task Name, Description, and map custom fields from the webhook body.
4. Add a Router module to split stargazer signals vs. keyword signals into different ClickUp lists.
5. Add a filter: if signal_type = "keyword" AND followers > 500, assign task to senior SDR.

Recommended ClickUp Structure for GitHub Leads

Organize your ClickUp space to make GitHub lead review fast:

• Space: "GitLeads" or "Outbound Pipeline"
• List: "Stargazer Leads" — one task per new repo star signal
• List: "Keyword Leads" — one task per keyword mention, higher intent
• List: "Reviewed / Actioned" — move tasks here after reaching out
• Custom fields per task: GitHub Username (text), Email (email), Company (text), Followers (number), Signal Type (dropdown: stargazer/keyword), Signal Context (long text)
• Status flow: New → Reviewed → Reached Out → Responded → Qualified → Closed

Filtering Which Leads Create ClickUp Tasks

Not every signal needs a ClickUp task. Use GitLeads signal filters or Zapier/Make conditional logic to route selectively:

• Follower threshold: only create tasks for leads with 50+ GitHub followers
• Company domain: filter for recognizable company email domains or companies in your ICP
• Language filter: only route leads whose top language matches your product's target (e.g., Go developers for a Go SDK)
• Keyword specificity: "looking for an alternative to X" is higher intent than generic mentions
• Duplicate check: use ClickUp's search API or a Zapier lookup to avoid creating duplicate tasks for the same GitHub username
