Notis

Verify pull request status against release evidence

When a release note or handoff names a pull request, let Notis check its merge status in GitHub and report the result.

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

Release notes can say a change is ready while its pull request status still needs checking.

  • Verify a referenced pull request without leaving the document workflow.
  • Surface a mismatch between release evidence and GitHub status.
  • Keep the check anchored to an explicit pull request reference.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Aryn and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use Aryn to extract the repository and pull request number, check whether that pull request is merged in GitHub, and report the result.
  • 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real release document that names a pull request.

Questions about this workflow

Does this workflow merge the pull request?

No. It checks whether the referenced pull request has been merged and reports the status.

What if the document has no pull request number?

Notis needs a repository and pull request reference to perform the check. Ask it to report missing references instead of guessing.

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

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.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Aryn and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
