Search Reddit after customer-facing GitHub commits
Use a commit as a lightweight cue to see whether users are already asking about the problem you just solved.
Trigger
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Action
Search across subreddits
Searches reddit for content (e.g., posts, comments) using a query, with results typically confined to subreddits unless `restrict sr` is set to false.
Why this helps
It is hard to remember customer research after a satisfying coding milestone.
- Connects shipped work to user language
- Turns coding milestones into research cues
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Reddit to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Describe that Notis should search Reddit for questions related to relevant customer-facing commits and send a summary.
- 4Choose Commit Event and a reporting channel.
- 5Push a test commit with a clear feature message and check the report.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore routine commits?
Yes. Tell Notis to focus on commits that match your feature or fix naming convention.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Reddit. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Reddit actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create a Reddit post
Creates a new text or link post on a specified, existing reddit subreddit, optionally applying a flair.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Reddit comment
Deletes a reddit comment, identified by its fullname id, if it was authored by the authenticated user.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Delete a Reddit post
Permanently deletes a reddit post by its id, provided the authenticated user has deletion permissions for that post.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Edit comment or post
Edits the body text of the authenticated user's own existing comment or self-post on reddit; cannot edit link posts or titles.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get link flair
Fetches the list of available link flairs (i.e., post flairs, not user flairs) for a given subreddit.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Post a comment
Posts a comment on reddit, replying to an existing and accessible submission (post) or another comment.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Retrieve Comments for a Post
Retrieves all comments for a reddit post given its article id (which must be for an existing, public post); nested replies within comments are returned as raw dictionaries requiring parsing.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Retrieve posts from subreddit
Retrieves the current hot posts from a specified, publicly accessible subreddit.
