Can CircleCI trigger actions in GitHub, and GitHub in CircleCI?

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.

Do I need to write code to integrate CircleCI and GitHub?

No. CircleCI-to-GitHub automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic.
