Keep pull request documentation metadata current
A pull request can change substantially after its first review. Have Notis record newly added commit details as a property on the relevant Confluence page so documentation tracking stays current.
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
Create Page Property
Tool to create a property on a confluence page. use when you need to add custom metadata or settings to a page.
Why this helps
Review notes and documentation trackers fall behind when more commits arrive after the initial pull request review.
- Surface new commits in documentation metadata
- Reduce manual tracker updates during review
- Keep commit details associated with a Confluence page
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Confluence once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: for each new pull request commit, update the specified Confluence page property with the pull request link and commit details.
- 4Pick the New Commit Added to Pull Request trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real pull request that receives a new commit.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a Confluence page?
No. It uses the Create Page Property action to attach metadata to a page. Identify the target page and the property information you want Notis to maintain in your instruction.
What commit details are available?
The trigger detects a newly added commit on the monitored pull request. Tell Notis which details to keep, and make sure the target page is identifiable from available context or your instruction.
Will it capture commits already on the pull request?
The trigger is for newly added commits. Use a new commit event to test the automation.
