GitHub integration

Every merged PR. Every docs page it breaks.
Instantly.

DocsCanary's native GitHub App monitors every pull request and flags documentation pages that may now be inaccurate — before the PR is merged or the moment it lands.

How it works

Three steps to drift-free GitHub docs

  1. 01

    Install the GitHub App

    One-click install. Select the repos you want monitored. No tokens, no manual config — DocsCanary requests only read-only access to the repos you choose.

  2. 02

    Every PR is analyzed

    When a pull request merges, DocsCanary reads the diff and maps code changes to your connected documentation pages. API changes, renamed functions, removed endpoints — all caught automatically.

  3. 03

    Your team gets alerted

    DocsCanary notifies you via Slack or email with a list of affected doc pages and their severity. Click through to review AI-generated edit suggestions and accept fixes in one click.
