Surface Pull Request Blockers in Your Workspace
A small signal at the right moment can stop a pull request from becoming background noise.
Trigger
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.
Action
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
Why this helps
Review blockers are easy to overlook when coding, customer work, and operational tasks share the same day.
- Surfaces blocked pull requests without another browser tab.
- Helps preserve review momentum.
- Makes an unresolved check result visible during focused work.
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 create it using a plain-language request.
- 3Use this instruction: When the monitored GitHub check run concludes with failure or action required, set my Bolt attention indicator pin high and report the pull request context.
- 4Pick the check run status trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test it with one check run that requires attention.
Questions about this workflow
Does this review the code?
No. It signals the check result so you can decide what needs review.
Can it cover multiple checks?
Create one automation per monitored check run or use a broader check suite workflow.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Bolt iot. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Bolt iot actions
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.
Analog Read
Tool to read the analog value from a specified pin on a bolt device. use when you need sensor readings (0–1023) after confirming the device is online.
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.
Bolt IoT Digital Write
Tool to set a digital pin high or low on a specified bolt device. use when controlling actuators or leds via digital output.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Check Bolt device online status
Tool to check whether a specified bolt device is online. use when you need to verify device connectivity before sending commands (e.g., control signals). example: 'check if device bolt1234567 is online.'
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.

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.
Bolt IoT Serial Read
Tool to read incoming serial data from a bolt device. use when you've initialized uart with serialbegin and need to retrieve serial data.
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.
Bolt IoT Serial Write
Tool to send serial data to a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart after initializing uart with serialbegin.
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.
Bolt IoT Serial Write & Read
Tool to send serial data and read the response on a bolt device. use when you need to transmit ascii data over uart and capture its reply immediately.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
