Let pull request updates settle before re-reviewing
A Bench pause gives you a natural reset when a PR changes underneath your review process.
Trigger
New Commit Added to Pull Request
Triggers when a new commit is pushed to a specific pull request. Monitors all commits on the specified pull request and emits an event for each newly added commit. This covers force-pushes and additional commits pushed to the PR's head branch.

Why this helps
Repeated PR commits can force constant re-orientation and make reviews feel endless.
- Reduces repeated re-orientation
- Creates a stable review return point
- Limits notification-driven review loops
Setup

- 3Ask Notis to have Bench pause when a new commit is added to a pull request, then report completion.
- 4Choose New Commit Added to Pull Request and a channel.
- 5Push a test commit to a pull request.

New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

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.
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.
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.
