Push GitHub Developer Leads to Snov.io

Why Send GitHub Leads to Snov.io

Snov.io is a popular email finder and outreach automation platform used by sales teams and growth marketers. When a developer stars your tracked GitHub repo or mentions your target keywords in a GitHub Issue, GitLeads captures their enriched profile and pushes it directly into your Snov.io contact list or campaign. Your existing Snov.io sequences handle the follow-up — GitLeads finds the right people at the right moment.

What GitLeads Captures from GitHub

• Name and GitHub username
• Email address (if publicly listed on their GitHub profile)
• Bio, company, and location from their GitHub profile
• Follower count and top programming languages
• Signal context: which repo they starred or which keyword triggered the match
• Signal timestamp: when the activity occurred on GitHub

Setting Up GitLeads → Snov.io via Webhook

GitLeads supports native webhooks that fire on every new lead event. You can use the Snov.io REST API or connect via Zapier/Make to route leads from your GitLeads webhook into a Snov.io list.

// Example: GitLeads webhook → Snov.io prospect creation
async function getSnovToken(clientId: string, clientSecret: string) {
  const res = await fetch('https://api.snov.io/v1/oauth/access_token', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      grant_type: 'client_credentials',
      client_id: clientId,
      client_secret: clientSecret,
    }),
  });
  const data = await res.json();
  return data.access_token as string;
}

app.post('/webhooks/gitleads', async (req, res) => {
  const lead = req.body;
  const token = await getSnovToken(
    process.env.SNOV_CLIENT_ID!,
    process.env.SNOV_CLIENT_SECRET!
  );

  await fetch('https://api.snov.io/v2/add-prospect-to-list', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      listId: process.env.SNOV_LIST_ID,
      email: lead.email,
      firstName: lead.name?.split(' ')[0] ?? '',
      lastName: lead.name?.split(' ').slice(1).join(' ') ?? '',
      country: lead.location ?? '',
      customFields: {
        github_username: lead.githubUsername,
        signal_type: lead.signalType,
        signal_context: lead.signalContext,
        company: lead.company ?? '',
      },
    }),
  });

  res.sendStatus(200);
});

Signal-Aware Snov.io Campaigns

Route different signal types to different Snov.io lists and sequences. Repo stargazers — high intent, explicit interest — go into a fast-moving sequence. Keyword mentions — researching a problem area — go into a longer educational drip. GitLeads includes the signal type and context in every webhook payload so your Snov.io campaigns can be signal-aware from the start.

Alternative: Connect via Zapier

If you prefer a no-code approach, GitLeads supports Zapier. Create a Zap that triggers on the GitLeads Webhook trigger and sends the lead data to the Snov.io "Add Prospect to List" action. This works without any code and takes about 5 minutes to configure.
