Push GitHub Leads to Waalaxy for LinkedIn Outreach (2026)

GitLeads + Waalaxy: GitHub Signals into LinkedIn Outreach

GitLeads finds developers who show buying signals on GitHub — new stars on your tracked repos, keyword mentions in issues and PRs, discussions about problems your product solves. Waalaxy automates LinkedIn connection requests and message sequences. Together, they create a pipeline where GitHub intent data flows directly into LinkedIn outreach.

The integration works via GitLeads webhooks or through n8n/Zapier/Make. When a new developer signal fires, GitLeads sends the enriched lead profile to your automation layer, which creates or updates a Waalaxy prospect and enrolls them in the right campaign.

What GitLeads Sends to Waalaxy

• GitHub username — for LinkedIn lookup via Sales Navigator or manual search
• Name — for personalized LinkedIn connection request message
• Email (if public) — for email fallback if LinkedIn is not available
• Company — for account-based targeting and message personalization
• Bio — shows their role and tech stack for hyper-relevant outreach
• Signal context — what they starred or what keyword matched, so your message references real intent
• Top languages and follower count — for lead scoring and routing

Integration via n8n (Recommended)

// n8n workflow: GitLeads webhook → Waalaxy campaign enrollment
// Node 1: Webhook trigger (GitLeads sends signal here)
// Node 2: HTTP Request to Waalaxy API

const waalaxyPayload = {
  // Waalaxy prospect fields
  firstName: lead.name.split(' ')[0],
  lastName: lead.name.split(' ').slice(1).join(' '),
  email: lead.email,
  company: lead.company,
  // Custom fields for personalization
  linkedInUrl: `https://linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=${lead.github_username}`,
  note: `GitHub signal: ${lead.signal_context}`,
  // Campaign assignment
  campaignId: 'WAALAXY_CAMPAIGN_ID',
};

// POST to Waalaxy API
await fetch('https://api.waalaxy.com/v1/prospects', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.WAALAXY_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(waalaxyPayload),
});

Integration via Zapier or Make

1. In GitLeads, go to Integrations → Webhook and copy your webhook URL
2. In Zapier, create a new Zap: Trigger = "Catch Hook", paste your GitLeads webhook URL
3. Add a Waalaxy action step — search for "Waalaxy" in the Zapier app directory
4. Map GitLeads fields: name, email, company, GitHub username to Waalaxy prospect fields
5. Add a Filter step to only route high-quality signals (e.g., lead follower count > 100)
6. Test the Zap and activate — new signals from GitLeads flow instantly to Waalaxy

Waalaxy Campaign Strategy for Developer Leads

Developer leads from GitHub require a different approach than typical B2B prospects. They value technical credibility over generic sales pitches. A high-converting Waalaxy sequence for GitHub leads:

• Connection request: Short, specific — reference the GitHub signal context ("Saw you starred [repo], thought you might be exploring [problem space]")
• Message 1 (day 3): Technical value — share a relevant doc, benchmark, or open-source resource, no ask
• Message 2 (day 7): Light CTA — offer a specific free trial, sandbox, or technical demo relevant to their stack
• Message 3 (day 14): Final touch — a brief question about their current setup, opens conversation naturally

Lead Scoring Before Routing to Waalaxy

Not every GitHub signal warrants LinkedIn outreach. Use GitLeads signal context to score leads before they hit Waalaxy:

• High priority: Developers at companies with 10-500 employees, public email, bio shows a relevant role
• Medium priority: Individual contributors with 100+ followers and active repos
• Skip: Bot accounts, students at .edu domains, contributors from large enterprises (unless targeting enterprise)
