STEP 1
Connect AWS Lambda and GitHub
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
AWS Lambda and GitHub Integration
Keep AWS Lambda and GitHub in sync by integrating their events and actions. When developer tools events happen in AWS Lambda, update the GitHub automatically - without any line of code in visual workflow builder.

Learn about AWS Lambda and GitHub
Detailed info you need to know about AWS Lambda and GitHub integrations in WEXTL. Explore which modules apps support and how you connect them.
AWS Lambda
Serverless compute that runs your code without managing servers. [5]
How to connect AWS Lambda to GitHub
Set up your AWS Lambda and GitHub integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected AWS Lambda and GitHub nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between AWS Lambda and GitHub. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between AWS Lambda and GitHub work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for AWS Lambda and GitHub that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting AWS Lambda and GitHub.
Connect your AWS Lambda and GitHub accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when AWS Lambda's "Watch Durable Executions" fires, WEXTL can "Accept a Repository Invitation" in GitHub. AWS Lambda has 1 trigger (including Watch Durable Executions); GitHub has 811 actions (including Accept a Repository Invitation, Add a Dependency an Issue Is Blocked by, and Add a Field to an Organization-owned Project). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. AWS Lambda-to-GitHub automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment AWS Lambda (or GitHub) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
You can build your AWS Lambda + GitHub automation on a 3-day trial with every feature unlocked. Cancel anytime. For your protection, a small deposit is charged to your card when your trial starts. It counts toward your first payment and is non-refundable. [8]
