Push GitHub Leads to GetResponse

Why Route GitHub Signals Into GetResponse?

GetResponse is a complete marketing automation platform used by SaaS companies, agencies, and growth teams to run email sequences, webinars, landing pages, and behavior-based automations. When your audience is developers, the most precise behavioral signal you can feed into GetResponse is not a web visit — it is a GitHub action: a new star on your repo, a keyword mention in an issue, a contributor watching your product's GitHub discussions.

GitLeads captures those GitHub intent signals in real time, enriches them with developer profile data (name, email, company, bio, tech stack), and pushes them into GetResponse via API or Zapier webhook so your email automations fire at exactly the right moment.

Integration Architecture: GitHub → GitLeads → GetResponse

There are two integration paths:

• Direct via GitLeads Webhook → GetResponse API (fastest, no middleware)
• Via Zapier or n8n: GitLeads fires a webhook → Zapier maps fields → GetResponse contact is created/updated and tag is applied

Connecting GitLeads to GetResponse via API

// GetResponse API — create or update a contact from a GitLeads webhook payload
// Docs: https://apireference.getresponse.com/

async function pushToGetResponse(lead: GitLeadsWebhookPayload) {
  const apiKey = process.env.GETRESPONSE_API_KEY;
  const listId = process.env.GETRESPONSE_LIST_ID; // campaign ID

  const contactPayload = {
    email: lead.email,
    name: lead.name,
    campaign: { campaignId: listId },
    customFieldValues: [
      { customFieldId: 'YOUR_CF_GITHUB_USERNAME', value: [lead.github_username] },
      { customFieldId: 'YOUR_CF_COMPANY', value: [lead.company ?? ''] },
      { customFieldId: 'YOUR_CF_SIGNAL', value: [lead.signal_context] },
      { customFieldId: 'YOUR_CF_LANGUAGES', value: [lead.top_languages.join(', ')] },
    ],
    tags: [{ name: `github-signal-${lead.signal}` }],
  };

  const resp = await fetch('https://api.getresponse.com/v3/contacts', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-Auth-Token': `api-key ${apiKey}`,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(contactPayload),
  });

  if (!resp.ok) {
    const err = await resp.text();
    console.error('GetResponse push failed:', err);
  }
  return resp.json();
}

GetResponse Automation Workflows Triggered by GitHub Signals

• Stargazer signal → tag "github-star" → trigger "Developer Interest" autoresponder sequence
• Keyword match on your repo → tag "github-intent-high" → notify sales team via GetResponse + Slack
• Developer stars a competitor repo → tag "competitor-aware" → route to competitor displacement sequence
• New GitHub contributor appears → tag "oss-contributor" → enroll in community nurture track
• Signal from developer with 1000+ followers → tag "influencer-lead" → escalate to founder outreach

• Tag by signal type: github-star vs. github-keyword-mention vs. github-issue-opened
• Tag by tech stack: node-developer, python-developer, go-developer
• Tag by company size (inferred from followers or enrichment): indie-hacker, startup, enterprise
• Use custom fields to store signal_context and surface it in personalized email copy
• Trigger webinar invitations for leads who mention your category keyword in a public GitHub discussion
