Know Your PR Status Without Leaving Slack
Direct message Notis 'Is PR #123 merged?' and get an instant answer—no more tab-switching or waiting for async updates.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Check if pull request merged
Checks if a specified github pull request has been merged, indicated by a 204 http status (merged) or 404 (not merged/found).
Why this helps
You're in Slack and need to know if a PR shipped. Checking GitHub means context-switching and breaking focus, so you either wait or send an async question that circles back hours later.
- Stay in Slack while getting immediate GitHub status
- No more waiting for someone to tell you if a PR shipped
- Reduce context-switching friction when you need a quick answer
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and GitHub to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When I direct message Notis asking if a PR is merged, check GitHub and reply with the status.'
- 3Notis will learn to respond to DM patterns like 'Is PR #123 merged?' or 'merged PR 456?'
- 4Pick a Slack channel for logs if you want to track all your checks.
- 5Test by DMing Notis about a real PR in your repo.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for PRs in any repository?
Yes, as long as your GitHub account has access to the repo and you mention the PR number or link.
What other PR info can I check?
You can ask Notis about PR creation date, author, branch status, and review comments. Just mention what you need in your DM.
Is there a delay in the response?
Notis responds in seconds. It checks GitHub in real time and sends the answer back to your DM.

Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.

Add a repository to an app installation
