Check Render memory usage when a new commit is pushed to a PR
Memory leaks love to hide in that one extra commit pushed late in a review. Notis watches for new commits on your pull requests and pulls Render memory usage each time, so a growing footprint shows up before merge, not after.
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
Get Memory Usage
Tool to get memory usage metrics for one or more resources. Use when you need to retrieve memory usage data for services, Postgres databases, or Redis instances over a specified time range.
Why this helps
Someone pushes another commit to a long-running PR and you have no cheap way to know if it quietly bloated memory. You find out weeks later when the service starts restarting under load.
- Catch a rising memory footprint while the PR can still be fixed.
- Get a memory readout on every new commit without asking.
- Avoid post-merge surprises from a single overlooked change.
- Keep an eye on resource cost without living in the Render dashboard.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Render to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and open Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Write it plainly: when a new commit is added to a pull request on GitHub, get my Render memory usage and send it to me.
- 4Choose the New Commit Added to Pull Request trigger and set your reporting channel.
- 5Push a test commit to a PR and confirm the memory reading arrives.
Questions about this workflow
Does force-pushing to a PR count?
Yes. New commits pushed to the pull request head, including force-pushes, will trigger the memory check.
Which service's memory does it read?
The Render service you describe in the instruction. Notis handles the lookup so you never touch an ID.
Can it compare against earlier readings?
Ask Notis to note changes over time in your instruction and it will summarize the trend when it reports.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Render. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Render actions
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.
Add Header Rule
Tool to add a custom HTTP header rule to a Render service. Use when you need to configure headers like Cache-Control, security headers, or CORS headers for specific request paths.
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.
Add or Update Secret File
Tool to add or update a secret file for a Render service. Use when you need to create a new secret file or update the content of an existing secret file.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add Resources to Environment
Tool to add resources to a Render environment. Use when you need to associate services, databases, Redis instances, or environment groups with an existing environment.
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.
Add Route
Tool to add redirect or rewrite rules to a Render service. Use when you need to configure URL routing, redirects, or rewrites for a service. Redirect rules send HTTP redirects to clients, while rewrite rules modify the request path internally.
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.
Create Custom Domain
Tool to add a custom domain to a Render service. Use when you need to configure a custom domain for a service.
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.
Create Environment Group
Tool to create a new environment group. Use when you need to create a shared collection of environment variables and secret files that can be used across multiple services.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Create Environment
Tool to create a new environment within a Render project. Use when you need to set up a new environment for organizing services, databases, and other resources.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Postgres Instance
Tool to create a new Postgres instance on Render. Use when you need to provision a new PostgreSQL database with configurable plan, version, and region.
