Update Apollo sequence status from merged GitHub pull requests
Reflect a customer milestone in an existing outreach flow without an extra checklist.
Trigger
Pull Request Event
Triggered when a pull request is opened, closed, or synchronized.
Action
Update contact status in sequence
Updates a contact's status within a designated apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'.
Why this helps
A customer-ready change can make a sequence step irrelevant, but sequence status is easy to overlook.
- Keeps outreach status aligned with delivery
- Prevents unnecessary sequence follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Apollo to Notis once.
- 2Create this automation in Automations -> New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis which merged customer pull requests should update a matching contact's sequence status.
- 4Choose Pull Request Event and a reporting channel.
- 5Merge a test pull request and verify the run.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Apollo. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Apollo actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add Contacts to Sequence
Adds contacts to a specified apollo email sequence by initiating an asynchronous background job and returning its details.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Bulk organization enrichment
Enriches data for up to 10 organizations simultaneously by providing a list of their base company domains (e.g., 'apollo.io', not 'www.apollo.io').
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Bulk people enrichment
Use to enrich multiple person profiles simultaneously with comprehensive data from apollo's database.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Bulk update account stage
Bulk updates the stage for specified existing apollo.io accounts, moving them to a valid new account stage.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create an Apollo account
Creates a new account in apollo.io; a new record is created even if a similar account exists, and provided `owner id` or `account stage id` must be valid existing ids.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
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 Apollo contact
Creates a new contact in apollo.io; use `account id` to link to an organization and `contact stage id` for sales stage, noting that apollo does not perform automatic deduplication.
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.
Create Apollo deal
Creates a new sales opportunity (deal) in apollo.io; all provided ids (`owner id`, `account id`, `opportunity stage id`) must be valid existing apollo identifiers.
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.
Create Apollo Task
Creates a distinct apollo.io task for each contact id in contact ids, assigning them to user id; this action is not for free plan users and repeated calls create duplicate tasks.
