Resume PR review after new commits
When code changes, your review context should come back with it.
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.
Action
Livechat open
Tool to show the live chat window. use after the widget has been bootstrapped with botstarapi('boot') to programmatically open the chat window (mode must be 'livechat' or 'popup').
Why this helps
New commits can reset attention and make it hard to remember what changed or what still needs checking.
- Bring review back into focus after updates.
- Prompt the founder to revisit unresolved feedback.
- Reduce the risk of merging without checking the latest commit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Botstar to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to open Botstar when a pull request receives a new commit.
- 3Pick the New Commit Added to Pull Request trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one updated pull request and confirm the live chat opens as expected.
Questions about this workflow
Does this detect force pushes too?
Yes. The trigger covers newly added commits, including force-pushes and additional head commits.
What should the Botstar conversation include?
Ask it to identify the pull request, latest commit, unresolved review items, and the next review action.
