Use the moment you request review to transition cleanly into your next task.
Trigger
GitHub Pull Request Reviewers Changed
Triggers when the list of requested reviewers (users or teams) for a pull request changes — for example when a reviewer is added, removed, or re-requested. The payload includes the full current reviewer list (users and teams with details), which reviewers were added, which were removed, and the previous reviewer list for reference.
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
After asking for review, it is easy to hover around a pull request instead of moving on.
- Creates a clean handoff cue
- Helps prevent unproductive review checking
