Zoho Projects can connect with GitHub so you see pull requests and issues inside project tasks, keep traceability between code and work items, and reduce manual cross-referencing across tools.
What is it
The GitHub link in Zoho Projects maps GitHub pull requests (PRs) and issues to project tasks so you can view PR status, branch names, commit references, and issue links from a task record. When you mention a Zoho Projects task ID or use the configured integration, the system attaches GitHub PRs and issue references to that task and shows basic metadata (title, author, state). The integration keeps task-level activity and code changes connected without copying details by hand, so teams can track development progress from within Zoho Projects [1][2].
When to use it
- When developers create PRs that implement a task so product managers can review PR status inside the task view rather than hunting in GitHub [1].
- When QA needs to link a failing GitHub issue or PR to an existing task for triage and resolution tracking [2].
- When you want commit messages or PR descriptions to reference task IDs and surface in Zoho Projects for audit and release notes [1].
- When planning releases and you need a quick list of linked PRs per task to verify code coverage before deployment [2].
- When billing or client reports must show the code changes associated with billable tasks for proof of delivery [1].
How to access it
Open the project, go to Extensions (or Integrations) in the left navigation, then choose Productivity or Collaboration integrations and select GitHub to configure the connection. Enter the organization or repository details, authenticate with GitHub, and map repositories to projects or task lists. You can also enable automatic linking by including Zoho Projects task IDs in branch names, commits, or PR titles so the integration attaches references automatically [1][2]. Administrators should confirm Profiles & Roles permit users to configure or view integrations in project settings before setup [3].
API access: use the Zoho Projects extensions/integrations endpoints to programmatically list and manage integration settings and to push task links from CI systems; authenticate with the Zoho Projects API and GitHub OAuth token when scripting automated linking workflows [1].
