Get an early smoke test for every new pull request
Know whether a change is alive before the review conversation begins.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
Why this helps
A new pull request can sit in review while a basic breakage remains undiscovered.
- Catches obvious regressions earlier
- Creates a repeatable review starting point
- Reduces context switching between code and testing tools
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bugbug to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a named automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction: when a new GitHub pull request is created, run the Bugbug smoke test for that application and report the outcome.
- 4Select the new pull request trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one real pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run when the pull request is first created?
Yes. It starts from GitHub's new pull request created event.
Can I use it for a specific smoke test?
Your plain-language instruction can identify the Bugbug test Notis should run.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Bugbug. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Bugbug 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.
Get test run details
Get detailed information about test runs from bugbug. this action retrieves test run details with optional filtering parameters.
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.
List suites
List all available test suites in the bugbug platform. this tool makes a get request to the /suites/ endpoint and returns a list of available test suites with pagination support.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
List tests
Retrieves a list of all available tests in the bugbug account. this action provides access to all tests in the account with pagination support. it returns basic information about each test including its id, name, description, and timestamps.
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.
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
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. 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.
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.
