Keep PR state changes visible
Key pull request moments become easy to revisit with an automatic visual snapshot.
Trigger
Pull Request Event
Triggered when a pull request is opened, closed, or synchronized.
Action
Screenshot API
Tool to capture a screenshot of a webpage. use when you need a visual snapshot of a page; supports full-page, device emulation, delays, and dark mode.
Why this helps
Opening, closing, and synchronization events can happen while you are away, leaving important delivery context scattered across notifications.
- Create checkpoints at meaningful PR moments
- Reduce reliance on memory and unread notifications
- Make handoffs easier across collaborators
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Serpdog once through the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation or ask Notis to set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to capture the PR preview when the pull request opens, closes, or synchronizes.
- 4Select the GitHub pull request event trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Perform one test PR state change and inspect the screenshot.
Questions about this workflow
Can I use only one PR event?
Yes. Tell Notis whether to respond to opening, closing, synchronization, or a combination.
What page should the screenshot show?
Use the pull request preview or delivery page that best supports the next decision.
