Export automatically to Github when t9n is complete
This Github is pretty awesome! Another feature which would be very nice is to allow to set up conditional exports. What I have in mind would be that when a translator completes a language the export is triggered automatically.
Immediately might be a little too soon, but after 15 minutes of inactivity by a translator could be even better. This would allow people with a CI flow setup to have really automatic translations from translator to test or live application.
I like my setup already pretty much. By pressing one button the translation is live in test environment after a couple of minutes. But having it magically would be the icing on the cake!

You can achieve this by setting an export webhook in the GitHub integration page and then adding this export webhook as endpoint for a callback on the language completed event.

https://poeditor.com/kb/how-to-use-poeditor-callbacks
This will trigger the webhook when the language is completed and will export your strings in GitHub.

The solution seems ok if you have one language. However, I don't think this will work if you have for example... 6 languages. For example, the "Language Completed" Callback will correctly say which language is completed, but there's no way to say which webhook URL in your Github Integrations Webhook to use.....

I would also love automatic export to Github , but would like the automatic export to be sent to a different branch. i.e. I need to read the translations from master, but export them to a "poeditor_export" branch.
Using a branch has the benefits of allowing each translation commit to be immediate and include details like the translator (needed for attribution on open source projects), and then the commits on the branch can be edited if necessary later, such as dropping any unhelpful translations, or even dropping entire languages which were not sufficiently translated by the deadline.
