Make approved code easy to finish
Approval is the signal to move from waiting mode into a focused finish line session.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Action
Start Project Task
Start tracking time on a project or task, stopping any previous tracking.
Why this helps
Approved work often loses momentum because the next step is hidden among notifications and open tabs.
- Turns approval into an immediate next action.
- Captures time spent on final validation and merge preparation.
- Keeps nearly finished work from becoming forgotten work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Desktime to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe the outcome as one instruction: start the matching Desktime project task when a pull request is approved.
- 4Select the pull request review submitted trigger and choose the report channel.
- 5Submit one approval on a test pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Does every review start tracking?
You can tell Notis to act when an approval is submitted, so the instruction is centered on the approval outcome.
What kind of task should Desktime track?
Use plain language such as final checks, merge, or release preparation.
