Review Your PR Backlog Weekly
PRs accumulate throughout the week and you don't realize how many are waiting for review. Notis sends a weekly digest to WhatsApp so you can triage the backlog without context loss.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Pull request backlogs grow invisibly. By Friday, you discover there are 15 open PRs and you don't know which are urgent or just waiting for review.
- Catch PR backlogs before they pile up
- Triage reviews once a week instead of constantly
- See which reviews are oldest and most urgent
- Plan review time with a predictable weekly summary
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and WhatsApp to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'Every Friday at 4pm, send me a WhatsApp message summarizing all open pull requests: count, authors, oldest first, and links'.
- 3Notis will send the digest on your chosen schedule (daily, weekly, or custom).
- 4Receive the first digest and adjust what information you want to see.
- 5Use the digest to plan your review time for the coming week or day.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize when I get the digest?
Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Send the digest every Monday morning' or 'Every Friday at 5pm' or any schedule that fits your workflow.
Can I filter which PRs appear in the digest?
Yes. Tell Notis: 'Only include PRs waiting for my review' or 'Skip drafts' or 'Only show high-priority PRs'.
What if there are no open PRs?
Notis can skip the message that week, or send a brief 'all clear' message depending on your preference.
