GitHub Source Control – Show Branch and Pull Request Status on Favro Cards
It would be very useful if Favro's GitHub Source Control integration could display development information directly on the related Favro card, similar to Jira's Development panel. At the moment, the Source Control integration is primarily focused on receiving GitHub events and creating automation rules, such as moving cards based on commits or pull requests. However, there is no clear development overview visible on the card itself. Proposed functionality When a GitHub branch, commit, or pull request references a Favro card ID such as BOK-7103, Favro could automatically show a Development / Source Control section on that card containing information such as: Linked branch name Branch status Pull request number and title Pull request status: Draft / Open / Merged / Closed Review status: Pending / Approved / Changes requested Number of commits Latest commit Merge status / conflicts CI/check status, if available Direct links to the branch, commits, and pull request For example: Development Branch: BOK-7103 Pull Request: #2010 – BOK-7103 Fix variable names Status: Open Review: Changes requested Merge status: No conflicts Commits: 2 Use case Our developers already use the Favro card ID in branch names, commit messages, and pull requests. For example: Branch: BOK-7103 Commit: BOK-7103 - fix: variable names and related code This makes it possible for Favro to associate GitHub activity with the correct card. However, project managers, QA, designers, and other team members currently have to open GitHub separately to understand the development status of the task. Having this information directly on the Favro card would make the card the central place for tracking the complete lifecycle of a task. Why this would be valuable It would allow the whole team to quickly answer questions such as: Has development started? Is there already a branch? Is a pull request open? Is the PR waiting for review? Have changes been requested? Has the PR been approved? Is it ready to merge? Has it already been merged? This would make Favro's GitHub integration significantly more useful for software-development teams and provide functionality comparable to Jira's GitHub/Development integration. Suggested behavior The existing GitHub Source Control integration could remain responsible for automation rules, while the card additionally gets a read-only Development section showing the current GitHub state. Ideally, Favro would automatically associate development activity whenever the Favro card ID is present in: Branch name Commit message Pull request title Pull request description This would provide both workflow automation and development visibility without requiring users to leave Favro.

BIG MISSING FEATURE for Slack notifications - Notifications only to assigned person (not for the whole board)
Right now Slack notifications in Favro are all or nothing. Everyone on a board gets pinged for every card, whether they're assigned to it or not. For small teams that's a minor annoyance. For companies trying to scale, it's a dealbreaker. Right now we have multiple editors sharing one board, with tasks assigned individually. Everyone gets flooded with notifications for cards that have nothing to do with them. They started ignoring Slack alerts entirely, including the ones that actually matter. And the only workaround is creating a separate board per team member, which defeats the whole point of a shared board (and to assign things to each board we need to create multiple status and automations). On top of that, Favro's own in-app notifications can be slow to arrive, so Slack is often the more reliable channel people actually depend on. For teams that already run on Slack for everything, this matters even more. Nobody wants a separate, half-working notification stream inside Favro that you have to check on top of Slack. Notifications scoped to the right person mean one inbox instead of two, less app switching, and less chance of something important getting buried in other notifications. This isn't a nice to have, it's basic functionality for any tool supporting real team workflows at scale. Other PM tools already handle this. Favro needs to catch up. If you've run into this same wall, upvote this so it gets the attention it deserves.
