Push GitHub Leads to Lusha: Real-Time Developer Contact Enrichment

Why Connect GitHub Signals to Lusha

Lusha is a B2B contact enrichment and prospecting platform that gives you direct phone numbers and verified email addresses for decision-makers. When you combine Lusha's contact data with GitLeads' GitHub intent signals, you get a powerful workflow: GitLeads identifies developers who just signaled buying intent on GitHub, and Lusha enriches those profiles with actionable contact data your SDRs can use immediately.

The problem with most GitHub prospecting is the enrichment gap. A developer stars your competitor's repo—you know who they are on GitHub, but you need a verified email or phone number to reach them. The GitLeads → Lusha workflow closes that gap automatically.

How the GitLeads → Lusha Integration Works

GitLeads does not send emails. We capture GitHub signals and push enriched developer profiles to the tools you already use. The Lusha integration uses a webhook to deliver lead data in real time:

1. GitLeads detects a new signal (star, keyword mention) on a tracked repo
2. Lead data is enriched with GitHub profile, bio, company, location, top languages, and followers
3. GitLeads fires a webhook to your endpoint with the full lead payload
4. Your automation (Zapier, Make, n8n) passes the GitHub email or username to Lusha's Person API
5. Lusha returns verified phone and email; the enriched record flows into your CRM or sequence tool

// GitLeads webhook payload → Lusha Person API enrichment
const gitLeadsPayload = {
  event: 'new_lead',
  lead: {
    github_username: 'devuser42',
    name: 'Alex Chen',
    email: 'alex@company.io',       // public GitHub email if available
    company: 'Startup Inc',
    location: 'San Francisco, CA',
    followers: 340,
    top_languages: ['TypeScript', 'Rust'],
    signal: {
      type: 'stargazer',
      repo: 'your-org/your-sdk',
      timestamp: '2026-05-11T14:22:00Z',
    },
  },
};

// Pass to Lusha Person API
const lushaResponse = await fetch('https://api.lusha.com/v1/person', {
  method: 'GET',
  headers: { 'api_key': process.env.LUSHA_API_KEY },
  // Query with email from GitLeads payload
});

What Lead Data GitLeads Sends

• Name and GitHub username
• Public email address (when available on GitHub profile)
• Company name from bio or organization membership
• Location (city, country)
• GitHub followers count — proxy for developer influence
• Top programming languages — helps qualify by technical fit
• Signal context: which repo was starred, which keyword was matched, in which issue/PR
• Profile URL for manual review or LinkedIn lookup before Lusha enrichment

Use Cases: Who Benefits from GitHub → Lusha

• DevTool companies — Find developers evaluating tools on GitHub, enrich with Lusha for SDR outreach
• Cloud infrastructure vendors — Monitor competitor repos, enrich leads for personalized campaigns
• B2B SaaS targeting CTOs — GitHub signals identify technical decision-makers; Lusha gets their direct line
• Developer-focused agencies — Build outreach lists from GitHub signals + Lusha contact data
• Recruiting firms — Identify active developers on GitHub, use Lusha to source contact info

Setting Up the GitHub → Lusha Workflow

1. Sign up at gitleads.app and configure repos and keywords to monitor
2. Connect the GitLeads webhook to a Zapier, Make, or n8n automation
3. Extract the email or GitHub username from the GitLeads payload
4. Use Lusha's Person API or LinkedIn URL lookup to retrieve enriched contact data
5. Push the enriched record into your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) or sequence tool
6. Optionally, set a Slack notification for high-follower or high-signal leads
