How GitHub and WooCommerce records line up
GitHub and WooCommerce share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in GitHub deployments can be read against what WooCommerce recorded in the same hours.
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 WooCommerce it means order status changes and plugin updates.
WooCommerce 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.
WooCommerce on its own
WooCommerce sees the order and, on recent versions, its source tag. It cannot see ad cost or the visits that did not buy.
Timing. WooCommerce writes each order when it is placed, and recent versions save the order's source and UTM values with it.
Access. The WooCommerce REST API with a read-only key.
