Validate Feature Direction at Branch Creation
A feature branch is an early decision point. Use it to gather context before effort compounds.
Trigger
New Git Reference Created
Triggers when a new Git reference (branch or tag) matching a specified prefix is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created branch or tag whose name matches the configured prefix. Use ``ref_prefix`` to control what is monitored: - ``heads/`` to watch all branches - ``heads/feature/`` to watch only feature branches - ``tags/`` to watch all tags - ``tags/v`` to watch tags starting with 'v' The payload includes the full reference name, node ID, the SHA and type of the Git object the reference points to, and the reference API URL.
Action
Auchan Product Search
Tool to search for products on auchan by query or search url. use when you need product listings and details from auchan.
Why this helps
Founders often validate a feature only after significant implementation has already happened.
- Move validation closer to the start of work.
- Reduce sunk-cost decisions.
- Give technical branches product context.
- Lower the chance of building in an isolated bubble.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Piloterr to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new feature branch is created, search Piloterr for relevant products and alternatives related to the branch purpose, then summarize the findings.
- 4Pick the new Git reference trigger for feature branches and choose the reporting channel.
- 5Test with one feature branch.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know the branch purpose?
Use descriptive branch names and include the product area in the automation instruction when needed.
Will it block branch creation?
No. It runs the research after the GitHub event and reports the result.

Get Usage
Tool to get usage information and remaining credits for your piloterr account. use when you need to check account usage and credit details.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. 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.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
