Why this helps
Thoughtful contributor recognition often gets postponed while you move on to the next code review.
- Create a consistent follow-up for qualifying reviews.
- Use your criteria to decide which contributors to recognize.
- Keep the letter content and mailing details under your control.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Docupost once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the contributor thank-you.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis which reviews qualify, where to get the recipient's mailing address, and which approved PDF URL to send.
- 4Pick the GitHub Pull Request Review Submitted trigger, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and verify the recipient and letter details before sending.

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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
