How teams connect GitHub and Smartsheet

Pick the setup closest to yours. Each one pairs issues in your GitHub repositories with rows in a Smartsheet sheet.

  • Issues
    Items sync both ways between GitHub and Smartsheet
    Rows

    Send bugs from project teams to engineering

    When a row is found in Smartsheet, create a matching issue in GitHub and keep them in sync.

    Status, comments and description stay in sync, so engineers get the full bug report in GitHub and the project team follows the fix from its Smartsheet row.

  • Issues
    Items sync both ways between GitHub and Smartsheet
    Rows

    Show dev progress to project managers

    When an issue is found in GitHub, create a matching row in Smartsheet and keep them in sync.

    Status and assignee fill sheet columns as engineers pick up and close GitHub issues, so project managers track delivery in the Smartsheet plan they already use.

    Rows

    Run shared work across both teams

    When an issue is found in GitHub or a row in Smartsheet, create a matching one in the other tool and keep them in sync.

    Assignee and comments sync both ways, so work added as a Smartsheet row or a GitHub issue shows both teams who owns it and the latest discussion.

Real-time data sync with full control, no coding required

Custom sync rules

Use intuitive rules (conditions or filters) to determine exactly what data to sync, such as row status, assignee, labels, and more.

Deep field configurability

Configure your data flow field by field. Map any native or custom fields and define flow direction for each.

Full relationship support

Sync hierarchies and related items across tools, keeping linked objects, dependencies, and parent-child relationships fully intact.

Historical data sync

Your sync doesn't rely on live triggers. Unito rules apply to any object in your tools and can also include historical data.

Comment & attachment support

Sync comments across tools with control over private and public visibility, and sync attachments for full visibility.

Live data transformation

Transform data in real time with transformers to combine fields, convert HTML to text, extract values, or apply custom string logic through JSON settings.

Enterprise-grade sync without the complexity

Cross-platform integration at scale usually takes weeks or months to deploy. Unito delivers reliable sync between Smartsheet and GitHub with a self-serve setup and field-level configurability.

Abstracted complexity

Connect Smartsheet and GitHub with an intuitive, out-of-the-box solution that allows for full configurability of your integration. Unito doesn't require custom logic, scripting, or dev-led setup.
Abstracted complexity

Frequently asked questions about GitHub and Smartsheet

Can a new Smartsheet row automatically create a GitHub issue?

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?

You do, with no code. Unito is owned and configured by the team that uses it, so you can adjust rules, field mappings, and flow direction yourself without engineering or scripting.
