Notis

Validate approved pull requests before merge

An approval is a green light to verify, not a reason to skip the final check.

Trigger

Pull Request Review Submitted

Triggers when a new review is submitted for a GitHub pull request. Emits an event for each newly submitted review on the monitored pull request, covering all review types: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, and DISMISSED.

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

Approved changes can still fail in the final mile, especially when the founder is juggling launch and product work.

  • Adds a focused check at the merge decision point
  • Prevents approved code from becoming forgotten code
  • Creates confidence without another checklist

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Bugbug to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
  • 3Instruct Notis: when a GitHub pull request review is approved, run the targeted Bugbug test for the changed area and report whether it passes.
  • 4Pick the pull request review submitted trigger, select a reporting channel, and test with an approved pull request.

Questions about this workflow

Will it react to any submitted review?

The prompt can tell Notis to act only when the submitted review is an approval.

Why run a targeted test instead of the whole suite?

A focused test provides a faster merge decision while keeping the workflow lightweight.
