Keep pull request dependencies from slipping
Let Notis check a key pull request on a schedule and report when its merge status changes your next step.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
A release or handoff can stall when nobody remembers to revisit a pull request that another decision depends on.
- Keep a recurring dependency visible without manually reopening GitHub.
- Get a lightweight status report on a pull request that matters to a release.
- Reduce the chance that a merged change goes unnoticed.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which repository and pull request to check, and what status or change should be reported.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pull request and confirm the report reflects its merge status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this merge the pull request?
No. It checks whether a specified pull request has been merged and reports the result.
What if I need to monitor several pull requests?
Describe the pull requests explicitly in the instruction. The workflow needs repository and pull request details because the check action operates on a specified pull request.
Can it report only after the pull request merges?
The action checks the status when the schedule runs. Instruct Notis how you want it to report the returned status.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Alchemy to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Alchemy triggers
GitHub actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
