# GitHub Integration

[GitHub](https://github.com/) is a code hosting and collaboration platform that supports native webhook delivery for repository events. When something happens in your repository — a push, a failed workflow, a new vulnerability alert — GitHub can send a real-time HTTP POST request to any endpoint you configure.

This integration connects GitHub to ITOC360 so that repository events automatically create or resolve incidents in your on-call workflow. No middleware or third-party service required; the webhook goes directly from GitHub to ITOC360.

### How It Works

GitHub sends a webhook payload to itoc360 every time a subscribed event occurs in your repository. The `X-GitHub-Event` header in each request identifies the event type — ITOC360 uses this to determine whether to open or resolve an incident. For events like workflow failures or vulnerability alerts, a new incident is created. When the same workflow succeeds on a subsequent run, or the vulnerability is dismissed, ITOC360 automatically resolves it.

### Prerequisites

* A GitHub repository where you have admin access
* Your ITOC360 webhook URL, generated when you create the integration

### In ITOC360

Go to **Integrations**, click **Add Integration**, and select **GitHub** from the list. Copy the webhook URL that appears — you'll paste it into GitHub in the next step.

### In GitHub

#### Step 1 — Open Webhooks Settings

Navigate to your repository on GitHub. Click **Settings** in the top navigation bar, then find **Webhooks** in the left sidebar under **Code and automation**.<br>

Click **Add webhook** in the top right corner.

***

#### Step 2 — Configure the Webhook

Fill in the form as follows:

* **Payload URL** — [https://api.itoc360.app/functions/v1/events?token=\<x-itoc360-token>](https://api.itoc360.app/functions/v1/events?token=<x-itoc-360>)
* **Content type** — select `application/json`
* **Secret** — leave this empty
* **SSL verification** — leave **Enable SSL verification** selected
* **Which events would you like to trigger this webhook?** — select **Send me everything**
* Make sure **Active** is checked at the bottom

\
Click **Add webhook** to save. GitHub will immediately send a ping request to confirm the connection is working.

### Supported Events

ITOC360 processes the following GitHub event types:

| Event                            | Trigger                        | Resolve                          |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------- |
| `workflow_run`                   | Workflow fails or times out    | Workflow succeeds                |
| `deployment_status`              | Deployment errors or fails     | Deployment succeeds              |
| `check_run`                      | Check fails or requires action | Check passes                     |
| `pull_request`                   | PR opened or updated           | PR closed                        |
| `issues`                         | Issue opened                   | Issue closed                     |
| `repository_vulnerability_alert` | Vulnerability detected         | Vulnerability dismissed or fixed |
| `push`                           | Commit pushed to any branch    | —                                |
| `release`                        | Release published              | —                                |

All other event types are accepted and logged as alerts with a default priority.

### Notes

* GitHub identifies event types via the `X-GitHub-Event` request header, not the payload body. ITOC360 reads this header automatically — no additional configuration needed.
* If you want to limit noise, you can go back to the webhook settings and switch from **Send me everything** to **Let me select individual events**, then choose only the events relevant to your workflow.
* The webhook secret field is optional. If you set one in GitHub, ITOC360 will ignore it (signature verification is not enforced at the receiver).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.itoc360.com/integrations/inbound-integrations/devops-and-ci-cd/github-integration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
