Open every pull request with better context
A review is easier when the surrounding ecosystem is already in view.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Run Actor Sync
Tool to run a specific actor synchronously with input and return its output record. use when immediate actor results are needed; runs may timeout after 300 seconds.
Why this helps
Small teams spend review time rediscovering documentation, compatibility notes, and external dependencies.
- Improves review preparation
- Surfaces external compatibility concerns
- Reduces tab-heavy research
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Apify to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation with a plain-language instruction to research the pull request's changed technology, external dependencies, and compatibility concerns using an Apify Actor.
- 3Select New Pull Request Created as the trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test on one open pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Why use a synchronous run?
It returns the initial research output directly when immediate review context is useful.
Can the report replace code review?
No. It supplements technical review with external context.

Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
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.
Delete Actor
Tool to delete an actor permanently. use when you need to remove an actor by its id or username~actorname. confirm before calling.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete Webhook
Tool to delete a webhook by its id. use when removing a webhook after confirming the webhook id.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Get Actor Details
Tool to get details of a specific actor. use when you need actor metadata by id or username/actorname.
