Make technical approval references easier to revisit

Keep the commit behind an approval record easy to find when questions return.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Get Commit Details

Get detailed information about a specific commit in a repository.

Why this helps

Approval PDFs often get separated from the commit context needed for later review.

  • Retrieve details for the commit cited in the approval record.
  • Make later questions easier to investigate.
  • Reduce memory load around where a sign-off came from.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect iLovePDF and Sourcegraph once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation called Approval record commit lookup.
  • 3Ask Notis in one prompt to use the repository and commit SHA delivered in webhook context to fetch commit details from Sourcegraph.
  • 4Select an incoming webhook trigger and a report channel, then test with an approval PDF linked to a known commit.

Questions about this workflow

Does the lookup prove an approval was valid?

No. It retrieves commit details only; approval validity remains a human decision.

Can I create this by chatting with Notis?

Yes. You can describe the same prompt conversationally, or set it up in the portal under Automations.
