Update privacy settings when a PR is approved
A completed review can move the right operational settings forward too.
Trigger
Pull Request Review Submitted
Triggers when a review is submitted for a pull request.
Action
Update Privacy Settings
Update a profile’s privacy settings, including its blocklists and tracker options.
Why this helps
Approved changes often sit in a second queue because release hygiene is managed separately.
- Links code approval with operational readiness.
- Keeps privacy controls aligned with release routines.
- Removes a small but recurring manual step.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and NextDNS to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Use this instruction: When the selected GitHub pull request receives an approval, apply the prepared privacy settings to the chosen NextDNS profile and report the result.
- 4Choose the pull request review trigger, set the run-report channel, and test with one approved pull request.
