Automated Lead Creation from GitHub Fork Events

This workflow automates the process of capturing GitHub fork events and creating corresponding leads in Pipedrive CRM. When a repository is forked, the workflow retrieves the GitHub user information, checks if the person already exists in Pipedrive, and creates a new person if not. It then associates the user with a lead and adds a note containing the GitHub profile URL. This automation streamlines tracking developer engagement and repository activity, making it ideal for teams managing open source contributions or developer outreach.

The workflow starts with a GitHub webhook trigger, listening for fork events on a specific repository. It then fetches detailed user info from GitHub, searches for the user’s email in Pipedrive, and determines if the person already exists. If the person is new, it creates a Pipedrive contact. Afterward, it creates or updates a lead with repository information and adds a note with the GitHub URL. The logical flow ensures no duplicate contacts and enriches CRM data with relevant GitHub activity.
