Create billing expenses from approved pull requests
Capture billable engineering work at the moment it clears review.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Triggers when a new review is submitted for a GitHub pull request. Emits an event for each newly submitted review on the monitored pull request, covering all review types: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, and DISMISSED.

Why this helps
Billable work gets lost when approvals and financial notes live in separate tools.
- Preserves the link between approval and cost
- Cuts end-of-month reconstruction work
