Does GAIA work with Airtable's linked records feature?

Yes. GAIA can create linked records in Airtable—for example, linking a PR record to the issue records it closes—preserving the relational structure of your data rather than flattening everything into a single table.

Can I use Airtable automations alongside GAIA's sync?

Yes. GAIA's record updates trigger Airtable's native automations just like manual edits do, so you can combine GAIA's GitHub sync with Airtable's own automation features for additional downstream actions.

How does GAIA handle GitHub issues that are deleted?

When a GitHub issue is deleted, GAIA can either delete the corresponding Airtable record, mark it as deleted in a status field, or leave it as an archived record—depending on your configuration preference.

Automate GitHub + Airtable with GAIA

Sync GitHub issues and PRs to Airtable so your project database always reflects your code reality

Airtable's flexible database structure makes it the go-to tool for custom project tracking, roadmapping, and engineering metrics—but keeping an Airtable base in sync with GitHub is a manual, time-consuming process. Issues get logged in GitHub but never make it to the roadmap base. PRs are merged but the corresponding Airtable record stays stuck in In Progress. Leadership dashboards built in Airtable are always a few days behind reality.

GAIA syncs GitHub and Airtable in real time so your custom project databases are always accurate. Issues created in GitHub appear in your Airtable roadmap base automatically. PR status changes update the corresponding Airtable record. Releases trigger new rows in your release tracking base with the relevant metadata.

For product-engineering teams that have built custom Airtable workflows for planning and reporting, this integration removes the manual data entry burden that makes those workflows unsustainable at scale.

5 things you can automate

Everything GAIA can do when GitHub and Airtable are connected.

Sync GitHub issues to an Airtable roadmap base

When a GitHub issue is created or updated, GAIA creates or updates the corresponding record in your Airtable roadmap base, mapping issue fields like labels, assignees, and milestones to your custom Airtable columns.

Track PR cycle time in Airtable

GAIA records PR open and merge timestamps in an Airtable base, enabling you to build custom views and formulas that track engineering cycle time, review duration, and throughput metrics without manual data collection.

Update release tracking base on GitHub releases

When a GitHub release is published, GAIA adds a new record to your Airtable release tracking base with the version number, date, number of issues closed, and a link to the release notes.

Weekly engineering metrics compiled into Airtable

GAIA compiles weekly engineering metrics—issues opened and closed, PRs merged, releases shipped—into an Airtable summary record that feeds your leadership reporting views automatically.

Map GitHub labels to Airtable select fields

GitHub issue labels like priority::high or type::bug are automatically mapped to corresponding Airtable single-select or multi-select fields, ensuring your database categorization stays consistent with GitHub's labeling system.

How to set it up

Connect GitHub and Airtable to GAIA in three steps.

1
Connect GitHub and Airtable to GAIA
Authorize your GitHub repositories and Airtable workspace in GAIA's settings. Specify which Airtable base and table to sync with each GitHub repository.
2
Map GitHub fields to Airtable columns
Configure how GitHub data maps to your Airtable schema—which GitHub fields populate which Airtable columns, how to handle new GitHub labels, and whether to create new records or update existing ones.
3
GAIA keeps your Airtable base synchronized with GitHub
GAIA monitors GitHub for issue, PR, and release events and updates your Airtable base in real time. Your dashboards and views always reflect current GitHub data without manual imports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Two-way sync is supported—if you update an issue status in Airtable, GAIA can update the corresponding GitHub issue label or assignee. This is useful for product managers who manage priority in Airtable but want changes reflected in GitHub.
