Finish a release smoke test with merge status
Pair the live browser result with a direct check of the pull request's merge status for a more complete handoff.
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
A passed smoke test can leave the release handoff unclear if pull request status is checked elsewhere.
- Tie a release check to its code change.
- Make the handoff status easy to review.
- Avoid a separate manual pull request lookup.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Browserless and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe: After my Browserless smoke test, check whether its supplied GitHub pull request has merged and report the result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one pull request from a completed smoke test.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine which pull request matches the test automatically?
Your Browserless request or prompt context must identify the pull request to check.
Does the check make changes to the pull request?
No. It returns whether GitHub reports it merged.

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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Browserless and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
