Create a Spotify playlist for new GitHub pull requests
Give deep review work a dedicated starting cue that does not depend on remembering a routine.
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 playlist
Create a playlist for a spotify user. (the playlist will be empty until you [add tracks](/documentation/web-api/reference/add-tracks-to-playlist).) each user is generally limited to a maximum of 11000 playlists.
Why this helps
New pull requests compete with everything else and are easy to postpone without a clear review mode.
- Sets aside a distinct review mode
- Makes planned review blocks easier to enter
Setup

- 1Connect GitHub and Spotify to Notis once.
- 2Create a new automation in Automations.
- 3Tell Notis to create a review playlist when a new pull request is opened.
- 4Select New Pull Request Created and choose a channel for reports.
- 5Open one test pull request to verify it.
