GitHub integration page showing repository cards Connect your GitHub repos to Janet AI projects so your tickets automatically move when you work on Pull Requests. Janet AI matches PRs to tickets and updates their status - no manual clicking needed. No existing ticket for a code change? Janet AI will create one for you automatically so all work gets tracked in your ticketing system.

Auto-Update Tickets

Every time you open a PR, Janet AI identifies if there’s a ticket resolved by this PR: How Janet AI finds your ticket:
  • Explicit mentions: If your PR title or description includes “fixes PROJ-123” or “resolves PROJ-456”, Janet AI will use that exact ticket identifier
  • Smart search: If there’s no explicit mention, Janet AI uses semantic search to find the most relevant tickets based on your PR content
What columns does Janet AI search? Janet AI only looks through columns that are:
  • Not marked as “Resolved” (usually excludes the Done column)
  • Not used for PR open/merged actions (usually excludes In Review and Done)
This keeps the search focused on active work that needs PR tracking. What if no ticket is found? If Janet AI can’t find a matching ticket, it will create one for you automatically (if auto-create is enabled).
