Make the review handoff easier to complete

When a developer announces review-ready work in Slack, create the Bitbucket pull request from the details provided.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Create a pull request

Creates a new pull request in a specified bitbucket repository, ensuring the source branch exists and is distinct from the (optional) destination branch.

Why this helps

A branch can be ready while the pull request handoff waits for someone to stop and create it.

  • Reduce the delay between finished work and review.
  • Keep the handoff tied to the branch details in the announcement.
  • Remove a repetitive step from the review process.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Bitbucket to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to open review pull requests from Slack.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Bitbucket pull request only when a channel message explicitly says work is ready and identifies a valid source branch and repository; select the channel-message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one real announcement.

Questions about this workflow

Can it open a pull request without a source branch?

No. The source branch must exist and be distinct from the optional destination branch.

Will any mention of a branch create a pull request?

The instruction should require a clear ready-for-review announcement and sufficient repository and branch details.
