Know which releases actually crossed the finish line
A short daily check turns release uncertainty into a clear next action.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
It is easy to assume a release is complete when the pull request, deployment, and monitoring timelines do not line up.
- Surfaces incomplete releases
- Reduces status-checking loops
- Makes follow-up concrete
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Datadog and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a recurring automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Each day, compare Datadog deployment signals with the specified GitHub release pull requests and check whether each pull request has merged; report mismatches.
- 4Pick a daily cron trigger, choose a channel for reports, and test with one recent release.
Questions about this workflow
What does the workflow change in GitHub?
It checks merge status and reports the result; it does not merge the pull request.
Can it highlight mismatches?
Yes. Include the Datadog deployment comparison in the instruction.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Datadog to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
