Capture pull request update time in Harvest
Let active implementation leave a time trail automatically.
Trigger
Pull Request Event
Triggered when a pull request is opened, closed, or synchronized.
Action
Create Time Entry
Tool to create a new time entry. use when logging hours for a project by specifying start/end times or duration.
Why this helps
Repeated implementation bursts are hard to reconstruct after context switching.
- Reduce manual time-entry friction
- Show progress alongside effort
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect both integrations to Notis.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to log implementation time when a pull request is synchronized.
- 4Choose the pull request event trigger and reporting channel.
- 5Run one real pull request update as a test.
