We get it, keeping track of your development to-do list can be overwhelming!  That's why we've built in some automation to help you.

When SOOS provides fix recommendations for vulnerability issues, with the click of a button you can push the entire content of the recommendation directly into a new GitHub Issues ticket for your team to act on.  There's no need to copy/paste, or open another window to create a ticket.

In this article we will make the required steps to integrate GitHub Issues with SOOS.

Integration Steps

In order to give SOOS access to generate tickets in GitHub Issues, you must first integrate your GitHub account with the SOOS app.  Follow the instructions in the GitHub Marketplace SOOS App Integration article.  

  1. Once the integration is complete, you will be redirected back to the SOOS app and will see the following confirmation page:

  4. Verify in GitHub that the selected repo is configured to accept issue creation.
    1. Navigate to the main page of the repo.
    2. Under the repo name, select Settings.
    3. In the Features section, ensure that the Issues checkbox is checked.
