Why this helps
The merge often disappears beneath the next task before the founder has registered the accomplishment.
- Creates a clear completion marker.
- Encourages recognition without a large time commitment.
- Makes progress emotionally and practically visible.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instacart to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a pull request is merged, create an Instacart recipe for a quick celebratory meal and include the pull request title and link.
- 4Select the pull request event trigger filtered to merged, choose the reporting channel, and test with one real merge.
Questions about this workflow
Can it be limited to production work?
