How this automation works

Create GitHub issues to track Buffer posts that fail to publish. This Applet runs when a scheduled Buffer post fails to send and automatically opens a new issue in the GitHub repository you specify. It's useful for teams using Buffer and GitHub who want developers or social media managers alerted to publishing errors so they can investigate and fix them quickly.
