Check pull request merge status from Ably
Ask in your Ably workflow whether a pull request merged and get a GitHub-backed answer.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
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
People waste time reopening GitHub to confirm a merge before continuing dependent work.
- Resolve merge-status questions with a direct check.
- Reduce tab switching during dependent work.
- Return a clear result through the Notis run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check merge status for the GitHub pull request identified in the incoming Ably request and report the result.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real request naming a pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this merge the pull request?

What information should Ably send?
Provide the repository and pull request number so Notis can check the intended request.

Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
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
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
