What root cause analysis uses from each
Root cause analysis needs timestamps precise enough to put events in order.
From GitHub that means the commit and deploy closest to when a metric moved. From Salesforce it means stage history and owner changes.
Salesforce is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
Salesforce on its own
Salesforce sees leads, accounts and opportunities. It knows which campaign produced a lead only when someone records it there.
Timing. Salesforce opportunity stages move when someone updates them, so pipeline data is as current as the team's CRM habits.
Access. A connected app with read-only access to Lead, Contact, Account and Opportunity.
