Catch pull requests waiting too long
A scheduled check can turn aging Bitbucket review work into a Slack reminder, using the history available to Notis.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Pull requests can sit unnoticed when no one has time to scan every repository.
- Surface aging review work on a recurring schedule.
- Create a focused reminder for a pull request that needs attention.
- Use returned Bitbucket history when it is available.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bitbucket and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to identify pull requests older than a threshold you supply and create a Slack reminder with their context.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pull request example and confirm the available history supports the threshold.
Questions about this workflow
Can this detect age without pull request history?
No. The age threshold depends on timestamps or history returned by Bitbucket; if those are unavailable, provide the needed information another way.
Does the schedule create reminders for every pull request?
Your instruction should tell Notis which pull requests qualify, such as those older than a threshold you choose.
