## Add Target to Activate Binding
After configuring your Slack trigger, add a target (agent or workflow) to activate the binding. For detailed instructions on:
- Adding targets to activate bindings
- Mapping trigger data to agent inputs
- Testing triggers with sample payloads
- Deploying and monitoring triggers
See the [Add Target to Activate Binding section](https://voltagent.dev/automations-docs/triggers/overviewusage/#step-3-add-target-to-activate-binding). These steps are the same for all trigger providers.

import GitHubEventTypes from "@site/src/components/blog-widgets/GitHubEventTypes";
The GitHub trigger responds to webhook events from your repositories in real-time. When events like pushes, pull requests, issues, or releases occur, VoltOps executes your configured agents or workflows.
For trigger setup and usage instructions, see the [Usage Guide](https://voltagent.dev/automations-docs/triggers/overviewusage/).
**Use Cases**:
- Run code review agents when pull requests are opened
- Automate issue triage and labeling
- Trigger deployments on release events
- Monitor security advisories and vulnerabilities
- Sync repository changes across systems
## Setting Credential
To set up GitHub authentication, you need to create a credential. This is configured in **Step 1 (Connection)** when creating a trigger.
1. Navigate to the [VoltOps Triggers page](https://console.voltagent.dev/triggers)
2. Select GitHub as the provider
3. In the **Connection** step, either select an existing credential or create a new one
4. Choose between Personal Access Token or OAuth 2.0 and follow the instructions below.

### Personal Access Token
**Create your token:**
1. Visit [github.com/settings/tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
2. Click **Generate new token** → **New personal access token (classic)**
3. Create a personal access token with `repo` and `admin:repo_hook` scopes
**Configure in VoltOps Console:**
1. Enter your **Personal Access Token** so VoltOps can create and verify repository webhooks
2. VoltOps generates and stores the webhook secret. No additional configuration is required
3. Configure optional fields:
- **GitHub Server**: Update if using GitHub Enterprise (e.g., `https://github.example.com/api/v3`). Default: `https://api.github.com`
- **Repository Owner**: Optional default repository owner
- **Account Label**: Optional label for organization or user
### OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 supports token rotation and revocable access.
**Setup steps:**
1. Copy the **OAuth Redirect URL** displayed in the console (e.g., `https://api.voltagent.dev/triggers/oauth/callback/github`)
2. Navigate to [GitHub Settings → Developer settings → OAuth Apps](https://github.com/settings/developers) and create a new OAuth App
3. Provide a name and homepage URL for your OAuth App
4. Paste the OAuth Redirect URL as the **Authorization callback URL** in GitHub
5. Generate a **Client ID** and **Client Secret** in GitHub, then enter them in VoltOps Console
6. Configure optional fields:
- **GitHub Server**: Update if using GitHub Enterprise (e.g., `https://github.example.com/api/v3`). Default: `https://api.github.com`
