How to connect GitHub

Connecting GitHub to Hookfire

Step 1: Create an Integration

  1. Go to your organization’s Integrations page.
  2. Click Add Integration and select GitHub.
  3. You’ll receive a unique Webhook URL — copy it.

Step 2: Add the Webhook in GitHub

  1. Go to your repository (or organization) on GitHub.
  2. Navigate to Settings → Webhooks → Add webhook.
  3. Paste your Hookfire webhook URL into the Payload URL field.
  4. Set Content type to application/json.
  5. Optionally enter a Secret (recommended).
  6. Under Which events would you like to trigger this webhook?, select the events you need or choose Let me select individual events.
  7. Click Add webhook.

Step 3: Copy the Signing Secret (optional)

  1. If you set a secret in step 2, copy it.
  2. Go back to your Hookfire integration page and paste it into the Signing Secret field.
  3. GitHub signs payloads with HMAC-SHA256 — Hookfire will verify each delivery automatically.

Step 4: Subscribe to Events

On your Hookfire integration page, toggle on the events you want to receive push notifications for.

Step 5: Test

Click the Test button on your integration page, or push a commit to your repository to trigger a real event.
