Dispatch planned work from Smartsheet to GitHub

Plan and prioritize work in Smartsheet rows, then dispatch each one to GitHub as an issue in the right repository. As engineers update status, commits, and pull requests, those changes flow back to your sheets so plans stay current without manual chasing.

Hand off rows as ready-to-build issues

Turn approved Smartsheet rows into GitHub issues automatically, so engineering starts from accurate scope instead of re-keying details by hand.

Engineering progress flows back to sheets

When GitHub issues are updated or closed, status and field changes sync back to the matching Smartsheet rows in real time.

One source of truth across both tools

Map fields and statuses between Smartsheet and GitHub so planners and developers each work in their own tool while seeing the same live data, with no duplicate tracking or stale reports.

Frequently asked questions about GitHub and Smartsheet

Yes. With rule-based criteria, Unito’s two-way sync can create a GitHub issue whenever a Smartsheet row matches your conditions, then keep both items aligned as either side changes.

Do comments and notes stay visible across Smartsheet and GitHub?

Yes. Unito syncs comments between Smartsheet and GitHub and gives you control over public and private visibility, so each team sees the context it needs without exposing internal notes.

Does Unito support custom fields between the two tools?

Yes. Unito maps native and custom fields exposed through each tool’s API, and you set the flow direction for each field so Smartsheet and GitHub data lines up the way you want.

Who maintains the integration once it's set up?
