Make new PR commits visible to reviewers
A new commit can reset the review conversation; make that change easy to notice.
Trigger
New Commit Added to Pull Request
Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.
Action
Authenticate Firm
Tool to validate the api key and retrieve firm details. use when confirming credentials before making other mailsoftly api calls.
Why this helps
Reviewers may not realize a pull request changed after they last looked at it.
- Reduces stale reviews
- Makes re-review needs visible
- Cuts manual reminder messages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Mailsoftly once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to authenticate Mailsoftly and prepare a re-review reminder whenever a monitored pull request receives a new commit.
- 3Pick New Commit Added to Pull Request and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one additional commit on an open pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore trivial commits?
