# GitHub Copilot Agent

You can trigger GitHub Copilot agents from your [Seer Autofix](https://docs.sentry.io/product/ai-in-sentry/seer/autofix.md) tab. The agent is provided with Seer's root cause analysis output and issue context, so it can understand the problem and generate a fix, including opening a pull request in GitHub.

## [Install and Configure](https://docs.sentry.io/integrations/coding-agents/copilot.md#install-and-configure)

Sentry Owner, Manager, or Admin permissions are required to install this integration, as well as a **GitHub Copilot Business** or **GitHub Copilot Enterprise** plan. It is not available on Copilot Individual plans.

You'll need the Copilot Cloud Agent feature enabled in your GitHub account before connecting to Sentry. The integration consumes GitHub Actions minutes and Copilot premium requests. See the [GitHub Copilot cloud agent docs](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/concepts/agents/cloud-agent/about-cloud-agent) for more information, including [usage costs](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/cloud-agent/about-cloud-agent#copilot-cloud-agent-usage-costs).

1. In Sentry, navigate to **Settings > Integrations** and search for **GitHub Copilot**.

2. Click **Install**.



## [First-Time Authorization](https://docs.sentry.io/integrations/coding-agents/copilot.md#first-time-authorization)

The first time you use the integration, you'll need to authorize Copilot from within a Sentry issue.

1. Go to a Sentry issue and click **Start Root Cause Analysis**.

2. Once root cause analysis completes, click **Set Up GitHub Copilot** in the Seer panel.

3. Complete the authorization and redirect flow to connect your GitHub account.

## [Using the Integration](https://docs.sentry.io/integrations/coding-agents/copilot.md#using-the-integration)

Once authorized, you can send any Seer root cause analysis to a Copilot agent.

1. On any Seer root cause analysis, open the dropdown and select **Send to GitHub Copilot**.

2. A link to the Copilot agent run and any resulting pull request will appear in the Sentry UI. Click it to follow Copilot's progress and review the changes.
