Trigger
New Pull Request Created

Action
Text Generation
Tool to generate text based on a given prompt. use when you need model-driven completions after crafting a prompt.
Why this helps
New pull requests can interrupt a focused work block and leave important review context scattered across tabs.
- Protects focus time
- Makes review priorities clearer
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Writer to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in plain language.
- 3Describe that new pull requests should become concise review briefs in Writer.
- 4Choose the new pull request trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Open one test pull request to confirm the brief.
