I want to integrate github with a external service. In particular I want certain actions to happen when an issue closes or a milestone is completed. I can see how to do the above for issues by adding a webhook against the issue event updates http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/. However, I don't see any events around milestones.
Why is that? Is it an ommission? I have seen some integrations of github milestones with the google calendar - I am assuming that this requires webhooks (I wouldn't expect them to use polling against the milestone api).
One alternative I have thought if there is no such event, is to listen for issue events and every time an issue closes, check whether this issue is associated with a milestone, and if it is check whether all other issues associated with that milestone are already closed and then create my own "milestone completed" event. ( I don't need milestone create events).
Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.
