Overview: describe the kind of repetitive thing you have to do and the benefit of automating it?

Non-techies find it hard to work with issues on Github, and having to onboard them makes it more increases friction. A great way to solve this would be a ready made automation that turns Google forms into github issues, with enough configurations for you to select which project the issue goes to, tags, etc. based on the form.

Google form submission, this then creates an issue in github. It is event based.

How much manual or custom input is required?

Actual form filling is manual, the rest of the it (create issue on Github should be automated)

Output: What's the desired result? What do we not want to see?

Project size: rough estimate of effort and time needed to build it

A month for a couple of people together.

I have created a solution for this. I used Next.js API routes for the backend hosted for free on Vercel. Who can I speak to about this?
