How to connect GitHub to Klipfolio
Klipfolio connects to GitHub via OAuth, so setup takes just a few minutes. You have two paths: use a pre-built data source to get started quickly, or build a custom data source if you need specific query control.
Option 1: Use a pre-built GitHub data source
- Navigate to the Service Connectors page in Klipfolio and select GitHub.
- Choose a pre-built data source from the Choose a pre-built or custom connection page.
- Click Connect an account (first-time users) and enter your GitHub credentials. Click Allow Access when prompted, then click Continue. If you've connected before, select your existing connection from the drop-down and click Next Step.
- Select your Owner and Repository from the drop-down menus on the Configure your data source page.
- Click Get data, review the results, and click Continue.
- Name your data source, set a refresh schedule, and click Save.

Top reasons to use Klipfolio for GitHub dashboards
Real-time visibility into repo health. Pull live data on open issues, pull requests, and commits so your team always knows where things stand, without anyone having to ask.
Centralize GitHub alongside your other tools. Combine GitHub data with data from project management, CI/CD, or communication tools in a single dashboard — no tab-switching required.
Share progress without sharing access. Distribute dashboards to stakeholders via public links, scheduled PDF reports, or TV mode, so everyone stays informed regardless of whether they have a GitHub account.
Build the view your team actually needs. Use pre-built data sources to get started in minutes, or write custom API queries to surface the exact metrics your workflow demands.
Automate reporting across multiple repos. Set refresh schedules as frequent as every minute so your dashboard reflects the latest activity without any manual exports.

With our Connector Gallery, you can create custom API queries to pull in data from your GitHub account. Building custom queries allows you to specify the metrics and time periods that you want to track.
You can use custom queries to build out visualizations in Klipfolio. You can also combine your GitHub data with other relevant data to create your custom dashboard.
