Create GitHub issues from feedback and add codebase context to PRDs
The GitHub integration turns feedback submissions into GitHub Issues automatically — with the full PRD as the issue body, priority and category applied as labels, and status kept in sync both ways. Connecting GitHub also gives Flowback's AI context about your codebase, so the PRDs it writes are more specific and actionable.
Connecting GitHub
- Navigate to Integrations in your dashboard
- Click Connect GitHub
- Authorize Flowback on GitHub when prompted
- Select the repository you want to use
You can route different channels to different repositories from each channel's settings.
What gets created
When a submission is created (or approved in Split & Review mode), Flowback opens a GitHub Issue with:
- Title — The issue title, with a reference number for cross-linking
- Body — The full PRD, including problem statement, user impact, acceptance criteria, and links to any uploaded screenshots
- Labels — The AI-assigned priority and the channel's category, applied as labels
Two-way status sync
Once an issue is linked, it stays in sync in both directions:
- Changing an issue's status or priority in Flowback updates its labels in GitHub
- Changing the priority or status labels in GitHub updates the matching issue in Flowback
- Comments on a linked issue are mirrored between GitHub and the Flowback portal thread
Codebase context for PRDs
Alongside issue creation, Flowback uses your connected repository to write better PRDs. It references your project's structure and recent history to point engineers at the relevant parts of the codebase:
- Relevant files — The AI suggests which files are likely related to the feedback
- Recent changes — If a bug may relate to a recent change, the PRD notes it
- Technical context — PRDs can reference your tech stack and project structure
Disconnecting
You can disconnect GitHub at any time from the Integrations page. Disconnecting:
- Stops new issues from being created and ends two-way sync
- Does not delete any existing GitHub Issues
- Does not delete any submissions in Flowback
- Removes the stored access token and codebase context
You can reconnect at any time.
