Overview: describe the kind of repetitive thing you have to do and the benefit of automating it?
Non-techies find it hard to work with issues on Github, and having to onboard them makes it more increases friction. A great way to solve this would be a ready made automation that turns Google forms into github issues, with enough configurations for you to select which project the issue goes to, tags, etc. based on the form.
