ServiceBeard

Turn support mailboxes
into issue beards boards.

Open source — Self-hosted — Cloud coming soon

What it does

Mailbox ↔ issue sync

Connect IMAP and SMTP to GitHub or GitLab. Incoming mail becomes issues and comments; replies flow back as email.

Rules engine

Match sender, subject, or body to route messages — create issues with preset status, labels and assignees.

Teams & projects

Organize members, mailboxes, and issue trackers per team. Run multiple projects from one install.

Loop-safe by design

Bot filtering, sync markers, and deduplication keep bidirectional sync from spiraling into reply loops.

Works with GitHub and GitLab, more to come

First-class support for GitHub Cloud, GitLab Cloud and GitLab self-hosted instances. Webhooks plus polling keep comments flowing even when push delivery hiccups.

  • Per-project IMAP polling and SMTP outbound
  • OIDC, GitHub, GitLab, passkey, and email login
  • Helm chart for Kubernetes deployment

Managed cloud — coming soon

We're building a hosted ServiceBeard so you can skip the infra and start syncing mail in minutes. Until then, clone the repo and run it yourself.
