Keep pull request reviews from slipping
Give review deadlines a place to live. Notis creates the Slack reminder you explicitly schedule.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Create a reminder
Creates a slack reminder with specified text and time; time accepts unix timestamps, seconds from now, or natural language (e.g., 'in 15 minutes', 'every thursday at 2pm').
Why this helps
Important review requests disappear under active work and competing notifications.
- Reduce follow-up load
- Keep the due time visible
- Preserve the PR link in the reminder
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Slackbot once.
- 2Tell Notis to create one Slack reminder for each new PR using the supplied review owner and time.
- 3Choose New Pull Request Created and a run-report channel.
- 4Open one real PR with an explicitly supplied reminder time to test it.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis choose a deadline?
No. The reminder time and owner must be supplied.
Can it remind a whole team?
The reminder scope must be explicit; Notis does not infer recipients.

Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Add a remote file
Adds a reference to an external file (e.g., google drive, dropbox) to slack for discovery and sharing, requiring a unique `external id` and an `external url` accessible by slack.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add a star to an item
Stars a channel, file, file comment, or a specific message in slack.
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.
Add call participants
Registers new participants added to a slack call.
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.
Add emoji
Adds a custom emoji to a slack workspace given a unique name and an image url; subject to workspace emoji limits.
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.

The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
