Give Every New Pull Request a Clear Starting Signal
New review work should not depend on remembering to check a queue. Let a simple light announce it.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Action
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Why this helps
New pull requests compete with notifications and are often discovered later than intended.
- Creates an immediate cue for incoming review work.
- Reduces queue-checking habits.
- Helps protect planned review blocks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bolt IoT to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it from a plain-language request.
- 3Tell Notis: When a new GitHub pull request is created for my repository, set the review attention pin on my Bolt device high and report its link.
- 4Pick the new pull request trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Test with one draft pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this monitor only ready-for-review pull requests?
Configure the GitHub trigger to match the draft status you want.
How do I clear the light?
Use a separate workflow triggered by a review or state change to set the pin low.
