Keep Your Team in Sync on New PRs

Every time someone creates a pull request, Notis posts it to your team Slack channel with key details.

Trigger

New Pull Request Created

Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.

Action

Post message to channel

Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.

Why this helps

Pull requests created in GitHub don't automatically notify the right people, leading to review delays and context-switching between tools.

  • Team sees PRs immediately in Slack, not buried in GitHub email
  • Reduces need to check GitHub constantly
  • Consolidates communication and code review in one place

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect your GitHub and Slack workspace to Notis
  • 2Tell Notis: 'Post new pull requests to Slack' or use the portal
  • 3Describe the automation: 'When a new pull request is created, post its title, description, and link to our #code-reviews channel'
  • 4Select the trigger: New Pull Request Created
  • 5Choose your team's Slack channel for PR notifications
  • 6Test by creating a real pull request

Questions about this workflow

Can I filter by repository or branch?

Yes. Tell Notis to only post PRs from specific repositories or branches, like only from main development repos.

What if we have too many PRs and the channel gets noisy?

Create separate automations for different repositories and channels, or filter by branch and priority.

Will it post draft PRs too?

By default it posts all PRs. Tell Notis if you want to exclude drafts.
