Workflow Steps
GitHub
Track contributor activity
Set up webhooks to monitor commits, pull requests, and issue interactions across your repositories, capturing contributor usernames, contribution types, and frequency.
Google Sheets
Maintain contributor progress database
Automatically log all contributor activities in a Google Sheets database that tracks contribution counts, skill development over time, and milestone achievements for each community member.
Zapier
Detect milestones and achievements
Use Zapier to monitor the Google Sheets data and trigger actions when contributors reach significant milestones (first PR, 10th contribution, major feature completion, etc.).
Discord
Celebrate achievements publicly
Automatically post celebration messages in your community Discord server, highlighting contributor achievements and encouraging continued participation with personalized recognition.
