Preserve the decisions hidden inside PR edits
Keep the why behind a changing pull request.
Trigger
Pull Request State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub pull request changes any of these tracked properties: state (open/closed), title, body, draft status, lock status, merge status, assignees, labels, requested reviewers, or milestone. The payload includes the full current PR details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Report Event
Tool to send custom events to Honeybadger Insights. Use when recording structured NDJSON telemetry.
Why this helps
A PR can change from draft to ready, switch branches, or lose a reviewer without leaving a simple shared explanation.
- Captures high-impact PR changes
- Makes handoffs less ambiguous
- Creates useful history for retrospectives
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a monitored GitHub pull request changes a tracked property, report a Honeybadger event listing the changed fields, previous values, current values, and PR link.”
- 4Choose the PR-property-change trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one real update.
Questions about this workflow
Which changes can be tracked?
The event covers state, title, body, draft status, labels, reviewers, milestone, lock status, and merge status.
Will every small edit create an event?
The prompt can ask Notis to report only meaningful fields, such as draft, base branch, reviewers, or merge status.
