Give every pull request the context it needs
A new pull request should not force you to reconstruct the whole project from scattered notes. Let Cody prepare the context automatically.
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
Create Conversation
Tool to create a new conversation with a specified bot. Use when starting a new conversation thread with optional focus mode to limit bot's knowledge base to specific documents.
Why this helps
Reviewing code often means pausing to search through product decisions, customer promises, and prior discussions.
- Reduce context-switching before review
- Connect implementation work to company knowledge
- Make technical decisions easier to evaluate
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Cody to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a new GitHub pull request is created, start a Cody conversation that summarizes the change and gathers relevant product, customer, and technical context for review.”
- 4Choose the GitHub new pull request trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one real pull request.
Questions about this workflow
What does Cody receive?
Notis uses the new pull request details and asks Cody to organize the most relevant context from its knowledge base.
Can I use this for draft pull requests?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger according to whether draft pull requests should be included.
