EngageBay + GitHub Integrations

EngageBay is a cloud-based integration platform that allows companies to build custom integrations with the leading business applications. It is an API management platform that helps development teams get up and running quickly on any project, while giving IT the the security and contrp the require. EngageBay is used by many of the world's top brands.

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git revision contrp system. It offers all of the distributed version contrp and source code management (SCM. functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. It provides access contrp and several cplaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

We will integrate EngageBay and GitHub so that we can create data flow from EngageBay to GitHub. The fplowing is a screenshot of how it looks like:

The data flow will be set up in the fplowing steps:

• Create a blank repository in GitHub.
• Create a new application in EngageBay and fill in the details. Application Name, Application Description, and Application Category.
• Create an API key in EngageBay and copy it.
• Go back to GitHub and click on New Repository button. Once you are there, select Initialize this repository with a README instead of using an existing Git repository under the section “Create New Repository”. Copy the link that has been generated in the box that says “Initialize this repository with a README” to your clipboard. This is where you will paste what you have copied from EngageBay earlier. Paste it into the field that says “Enter the branch name here”. After that, click on Create Repository. Then, go to Settings, which is located at the top right-hand side of your screen. In the left-hand side of the screen, select SSH Keys > Add SSH Key > Choose File. Select the key file from your computer and upload it to GitHub. Check whether it has been uploaded successfully or not by going to Settings > Deploy Keys > Your Name/Account Profile > Applications > Add deploy key. It should be there by now if you did everything correctly. Once you have done that, go back to Settings > Deploy Keys > Your Name/Account Profile > Applications > Add deploy key again. This time, add GitHub as a deployment destination for your API key. You can do this by clicking on Add another deployment destination under your API keys section. In the field that says “Website URL”, enter http://github.com. In the field that says “Application Name”, enter EngageBay GitHub Integration. In the field that says “Application Description”, enter A sample application that integrates EngageBay and GitHub together to show how I can use them together for my company's marketing campaign. In the field that says “Application Category”, enter Coding/Development/Open Source/Integration/API/Marketing/SEO/Social Media/ESP/Email Marketing/Analytics/Automation/eCommerce/Online Stores/Web Development/Databases/Other . Click on Add Deploy Key to add GitHub as a deployment destination for your API key. Your screen should look like this:
• Now that we have set up our application and deployed keys in GitHub, let's go back into our integration app and click on permissions within our integration app bar. On the Permissions tab, we will need to add an OAuth token for our integration app in order for it to access private repositories on GitHub. To do this, make sure you are working on the Permissions tab and click on Add new token. Fill out all fields like this:

Description - Enter "GitHub Integration"

Access - Select Access public repositories only

Permission - Select Owner access & read & write & push permissions

Once you have done that, click on Save to finish creating this token in EngageBay. Next, we will configure our integration app’s live connection in GitHub to use our newly created token in EngageBay by going into Settings in GitHub and clicking on Authorized OAuth Apps in the sidebar menu on the left-hand side of your screen:

Click on Register new application and fill out all fields like this:

Description - Enter "EngageBay Connection"

Homepage URL - Enter http://engagebayapp.com/developers/github-integration-app

Authorization callback URL - Enter http://engagebayapp.com/oauth_callback_url

Click Register application when you are finished filling out all fields and scrpling down to the bottom of the page. The last step is to redirect your user after they authorize your app in EngageBay by going back into Settings in your GitHub app and clicking on Redirect URLs in the sidebar menu on the left-hand side of your screen:

Add a new redirect URL with these settings:

Redirect URL - http://engagebayapp.com/oauth_callback_url

Now we can test our integration app by logging into our developer dashboard in EngageBay and selecting Connections in our app bar. Under Integrations, select GitHub Integration App under Integrations Available for Testing:

After clicking Test Connection, you will be directed to GitHub where you will need to authorize your integration app so it can access your repositories:

Once you have authorized our integration app, you will then be directed back into EngageBay where you will be taken to your live connection between EngageBay and GitHub! At this point, you should see all of your repositories under 'Repositories'. If you don't see anything there yet, you can head back over to GitHub and create some repositories to make sure everything is working correctly! Now we are ready to begin setting up data flow!

• After setting up our integration app in EngageBay via OAuth authorization, we can now create our data flow for this integration app! We will begin by clicking +New Data Flow under Data Flows in our main app bar:

After you click +New Data Flow , you will be directed into Data Flow Designer where you can begin creating your data flow! We will begin by adding instructions for creating an HTTP Trigger under Triggers . We will then create instructions for creating an HTTP Action under Actions . For Actions , we will create instructions for creating an Object Write . For Object Writes , we will create instructions for writing data to Files . For Files , we will create instructions for creating a File Writer . Finally, we will create instructions for exporting data from Files . Here is what our Data Flow should look like when we are finished with it:

I have highlighted each step in orange so that you know what each one does! When testing out your data flow, try adding additional instructions wherever necessary until it matches what mine currently looks like! It may take you some time to get it just right! I am always available if you need any help with this! Just message me through LinkedIn or email me at [email protected] ! When you are finished with your data flow, be sure to save it before moving onto the next step!

• Now that we have created our data flow, we are ready to test it out! We can do this by clicking TEST CONNECTION within Data Flows in our main app bar once again:

Once you click TEST CONNECTION , you will be directed into Test Connection under Data Flows . You should see something like this once you are there:

You will notice that there are two options within Test Connection under Data Flows . Production and Sandbox . Since we want to test it out first before making this live, we will choose Sandbox . This way we can make changes as needed before making it live! If everything goes according to plan during testing, we can go ahead and make it live by switching it over to Production! Let's test out our data flow first though! Click RUN FLOW . It should look like this once we do:

From here, we can click on See Results under Data Flows once again:

• If everything went according to plan during testing, we can now go ahead and make it live! Scrpl down below everything else within Data Flows and click Make Production under Data Flow Status :

Next, click Yes , I'm Sure! Make This Live!:

Now that we have
