Real-Time PR Status Updates in Airtable
Pull requests merge in GitHub but stay 'open' in Airtable. When a PR's status changes, Notis instantly updates the Airtable record so your team sees which features are actually shipped.
Trigger
Pull Request State / Properties Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub pull request changes any of these tracked properties: state (open/closed), title, body, draft status, lock status, merge status, assignees, labels, requested reviewers, or milestone. The payload includes the full current PR details, the list of changed field names, and their previous values.
Action
Update record
Modifies specified fields of an existing record in an airtable base and table; the base, table, and record must exist.
Why this helps
PRs get merged but the Airtable project record stays marked as 'in review,' misleading the team about what's been released.
- Project timeline always reflects shipped PRs
- Team knows which features are merged
- No confusion about release status
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Airtable to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a GitHub pull request's status changes (merged, closed, draft status changes), update the matching Airtable record with the new status and date.'
- 3Select 'Pull Request State / Properties Changed' as the trigger.
- 4Choose your notification channel.
- 5Test by merging a PR in GitHub.
Questions about this workflow
What if a PR is draft and I want to hide it from Airtable?
You can specify 'do not create a record for draft PRs' or 'mark draft PRs as hidden' in your prompt.
Can I track the date a PR was merged?
Yes. Notis will capture the merge timestamp and update that field in Airtable.
What about closed PRs that weren't merged?
Both merged and closed PRs update the record. You can distinguish them by the status field.

Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create table
Creates a new table within a specified existing airtable base, allowing definition of its name, description, and field structure.

Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
