Introducing GitHub Automations

Automate GitHub PRs and more from a help desk request


Serval now integrates with GitHub, opening up a whole new universe of help desk automations - including opening PRs for you.

Just one example: we see a lot of access or change requests made in the help desk that should be Terraform updates. Now that’s fully automated by Serval.

If someone wants to be added to “prod admins,” they just make the request in Slack and Serval opens the PR automatically.

This is just scratching the surface. Some other use cases we’re seeing for Serval + Github automations:

  • Creating repos and teams

  • Adding people to teams

  • Modifying any structured file like YAML or JSON

  • Creating files

  • Approving / Merging PRs

  • Commenting on PRs

  • So much more!

And with Serval’s AI workflow builder, you can combine these with actions in any other application to build some truly magical automations.

Another way Serval gives IT superpowers.
