Link Canny posts with GitHub issues to keep the two platforms in sync and notify users when a post has been completed!

After successfully installing GitHub, you should see a new section in the post sidebar and in the roadmapping/prioritization tool:

Start typing in the name of the issue and Canny will search GitHub and provide suggestions. Select the issue you'd like to link and you're done!

NOTE: Only OPEN GitHub issues can be linked. If the issue is closed, you'll need to reopen it in order to link it to Canny!

You should now be able to click on the link in Canny to view the issue in GitHub. The Canny bot leaves a comment in GitHub with a link back to the Canny post.

When setting up your GitHub integration, you have the option to set up status change rules. When a rule is created, the status of a Canny issue can be automatically be updated if there are changes to a GitHub issue.

To get started, go to your GitHub settings page and click the "Install GitHub" button:
