GitHub events, straight into Notion
Every push, pull request, issue, or release — posted to Notion the moment it happens. No Notion app to install, no monthly automation subscription.
The gap this fills: GitHub doesn't ship an official Notion app. If you want push, pull request, issue, or release to show up in Notion the moment it happens, the usual options are a paid third-party bot, custom code, or routing everything through a $20–50/month automation platform just to move one webhook from one URL to another. ZestyGlue does exactly that one thing for $9/month.

A real GitHub event, shown as ZestyGlue formats it for Notion.
Setup — about two minutes
- Create the connector. In ZestyGlue, start a new GitHub → Notion connector. You'll get a unique webhook URL right away.
- Point GitHub at it. In your repo (or org), go to Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook, paste in your ZestyGlue webhook URL, set content type to application/json, and pick the events you want.
- Set the secret. GitHub lets you set a Secret on the webhook — use the same one you enter into ZestyGlue's connector setup, so events can be verified as genuinely from your repo.
- Point Notion at ZestyGlue. Create an integration at notion.so/my-integrations, share your target database with it, then copy the database ID from its URL and enter both into ZestyGlue. The database needs a “Name” title property.
Tip: GitHub sends a separate signed request per event type you enable — most teams start with just push and pull_request, then add issues or release later once the channel proves useful.

Questions
Is my GitHub Webhook Secret safe with ZestyGlue?
It's encrypted at rest with Fernet symmetric encryption before it ever touches disk, it's never logged, and it's never displayed again in the dashboard after you enter it — only a masked placeholder is shown.
Does this work with GitHub organizations, not just personal repos?
Yes — organization-owned repos and org-level webhooks work the same way as personal repos.
Can I forward events from more than one repo to the same channel?
Yes — add the same ZestyGlue webhook URL to as many repos as you like; every one of them will post into the same destination.
Does self-hosted GitHub Enterprise work the same way?
Yes, as long as your GitHub Enterprise instance can reach zestyglue.com over the internet to deliver the webhook.
Do I need a paid Notion plan?
No, Notion's free plan supports integrations and the API calls ZestyGlue makes to create a new row.
What happens if my ZestyGlue subscription lapses?
Events are silently dropped rather than causing errors on GitHub's side — GitHub never sees a failure response, so it won't retry aggressively or flag your webhook as broken. Your dashboard will simply stop showing new events until you resubscribe.
