Creating & Assigning issues

Issues are the core unit of collaboration in GrantFox. They represent the tasks contributors can discover, apply to, and work on during an active Campaign.

There are two ways to create issues for your project:

1

Create issues from GrantFox

You can create issues directly inside GrantFox:

1. Open your project.

2. Go to the “Issues” tab.

3. Click Create Issue and fill out the details.

When issues are created from GrantFox, they will automatically include the label/tag of the active Campaign, which ensures they appear correctly inside the Campaign.

2

Create issues from GitHub

You can also create issues directly in GitHub. If the repository is connected to GrantFox, the issue will automatically sync and appear on the platform.

Campaign tag: If you want the issue to appear inside the active Campaign, you must add the Campaign label exactly as it is defined.

This is a very important requirement!

Example: If the Campaign tag is grantfox-campaign1, the issue must include the label grantfox-campaign1. If the label doesn’t match exactly, the issue will still exist in GitHub, but it will not appear in the Campaign inside GrantFox.

Assigning issues

At the moment, issues must be assigned directly from GitHub.

Once you assign an issue in GitHub, GrantFox will sync the assignment automatically, and after a short moment you’ll see the assigned contributor reflected inside GrantFox as well.
