Check merge status for pull requests discussed on calls
Let Notis check a pull request mentioned in a finalized transcript and return its merge status in the run report. Supply the repository and pull request number if needed.
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
Founders leave calls unsure whether a discussed change has merged, then spend time checking GitHub manually.
- Quickly confirm merge status after a discussion.
- Keep the result with the automation run report.
- Avoid reopening GitHub to check a known pull request.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Castingwords 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 find the referenced pull request in each finalized transcript, check whether it has merged, and summarize the result; provide the repository and pull request number if needed.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real transcript that mentions a pull request and verify the reported status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this merge the pull request?
No. It checks whether the specified pull request has already merged and reports the result.
What details should the transcript or request include?
Provide enough information to identify the repository and pull request number. Notis cannot check a pull request it cannot identify.
Can this notify someone directly?
The workflow returns the result in the Notis run report. Choose the report channel in the automation setup.

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.
