Check a pull request by text
Text the repository and pull request number when you need a quick merge status check.
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
Finding out whether a pull request merged can mean reopening GitHub and retracing context.
- Check merge status from a text request.
- Keep a simple status question out of a manual repository lookup.
- Send the result to your chosen run report channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Android Texter and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to identify the repository and pull request number in the SMS and check whether that pull request is merged.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pull request reference and review the reported status.
Questions about this workflow
What does the check return?
GitHub indicates whether the specified pull request is merged. The repository and pull request number must be identifiable from the request.
Can this merge a pull request?
No. This action checks merge status; it does not merge or change the pull 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.
