See what changed since the last review
When a pull request gets a new commit, Notis keeps a simple Dropbox update ready for your next focused review block.
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
Upload File
Uploads a file to a specified path in the user's dropbox, with options for handling existing files.
Why this helps
Founders lose time figuring out what changed after they last looked at a pull request.
- Provides a lightweight change trail
- Makes resumed work faster after interruptions
- Reduces unnecessary back-and-forth with contributors
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to append a concise update to Dropbox whenever a pull request receives a new commit.
- 3Choose the New Commit Added to Pull Request trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Push one test commit and verify the Dropbox update.
Questions about this workflow
Can the update be concise?
Yes. Tell Notis to summarize only the new commit message, author, timestamp, and pull request link.
Will force-pushed commits be covered?
The GitHub trigger monitors newly added commits, including commits added after a force-push.
