GitHub and Postgres connection
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for GitHub and Postgres and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
Ways to connect GitHub and Postgres
Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
