How to connect CircleCI to Heroku
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active CircleCI account with repository access
- An active Heroku account with API credentials
- A free Arahi AI account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
Create your Arahi AI account
Sign up at app.arahi.ai — it's free and takes 30 seconds. No credit card required. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
Authenticate CircleCI
Click "Add Connection" and select CircleCI from the app directory. You'll be redirected to CircleCI's authorization page. Grant Arahi access to your repositories, issues, and project data. You control which repos and projects the integration can access.
Authenticate Heroku
Same process for Heroku. Click "Add Connection," select Heroku, and authorize access. Grant Arahi access to your cloud resources and services. You select which services and regions the integration can interact with.
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new commit pushed in circleci or webhook received in heroku. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send webhook in heroku. Map the data fields between CircleCI and Heroku so the right information lands in the right place.
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between CircleCI and Heroku. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — Arahi handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Why connect CircleCI and Heroku?
Manually moving data between CircleCI and Heroku is error-prone and eats into your team's productive hours. Connecting them through Arahi eliminates that overhead — events in one app trigger actions in the other automatically.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about connecting CircleCI and Heroku.
How do I connect CircleCI to Heroku?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both CircleCI and Heroku via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing developer tools events to infrastructure & cloud actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between CircleCI and Heroku?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new CircleCI events to Heroku actions, trigger Heroku updates when CircleCI data changes, create Heroku records from CircleCI events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the CircleCI and Heroku integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your CircleCI-to-Heroku workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $29/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my CircleCI data secure when connected to Heroku?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your CircleCI or Heroku passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your developer tools data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between CircleCI and Heroku?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either CircleCI or Heroku. For example, create a workflow where CircleCI events update Heroku, and a separate one where Heroku changes sync back to CircleCI. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect CircleCI and Heroku?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use CircleCI and Heroku, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
