Plan Fly placement when a pull request is approved
Move from approval to an informed deployment plan without keeping region constraints in your head.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Triggers when a new review is submitted for a GitHub pull request. Emits an event for each newly submitted review on the monitored pull request, covering all review types: APPROVED, CHANGES_REQUESTED, COMMENTED, and DISMISSED.
Action
Get Placements
Tool to get placement recommendations for Machines in Fly.io regions. Use when you need to determine optimal regions for deploying machines based on resource requirements, volume constraints, and organizational limits.
Why this helps
An approved PR can still leave the deployment details scattered across notes and infrastructure tools.
- Supports calm release decisions
- Makes regional constraints explicit

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Fly. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

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.
