Using the Task Issue Connector

Connecting Tasks to GitHub, GitLab, or Jira using a Task Issue Tracker Connector.

This article requires that a DubBot admin has already set up a Task Issue Connector for use with the DubBot account.

For more information about setting up the initial availability for the connector, refer to the Add a Task Issue Connector to your DubBot Account article.

Ensure the Task Issue Connector is Configured

Locate the cog icon in the bottom right-hand panel of the Task's Detail Panel. If no cog icon is present, there are no Task Issue Connectors set up for the account. You should reach out to the Account Administator for assistance with this set up.

In the right panel of the Task screen is a cog icon labeled X Settings, with X being the name of the software connected. .

Authenticate with the Configured Task Issue Software

Each user will need to authenticate themselves with their Task Issue software permissions to ensure users are only pushing information to repositories that they have access to.

Note: Each user will only need to authenticate once unless they remove authentication access within their DubBot account or their authentication times out.

If a user has not previously utilized the Task Issue connector, the user will need to go to a Task and in the right column, select the Cog icon next to the disabled Push to GitHub/GitLab/Jira button.

Selecting the cog icon will present the user with the login screen for the software that has been configured. Users will need to authenticate and give permission for DubBot to access the account.

Login screen for Sign in to GitHub to continue to DubBot.

Once this has been completed, the user will need to select which repository tasks will be pushed to in the DubBot interface. Using the Repository to create issues in dropdown field, select the appropriate repository.

GitHub Settings panel will now have a dropdown to select the GitHub repository to use.

Once the appropriate repository is selected, select the Close button. The Connector can now push Task information to the repository and Resolve those corresponding issues.


Pushing a Task to the Configured Software

The Push to GitHub/GitLab/Jira button will create an issue in the configured repository. This button will only appear if a Connector has been created for the account.

If you are within the Tasks DubBot interface, Tasks will now have a Push to GitHub/GitLab/Jira button.

Push to GitHub button is now under Issue Trackers on the Task panel

Within the Page Preview, the Task panel will allow users to Push to GitHub via a check box labeled, Push to ..., which should be selected before hitting the Task Submit button.

If the Push to ... button is not available to you, it could mean that the Task Connector is not set up for your account or that your specific user account needs to enable access to GitHub from DubBot.
