Confirm release pull requests are merged
Close the loop between what shipped and what GitHub says is complete.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check if pull request merged
Checks if a specified github pull request has been merged, indicated by a 204 http status (merged) or 404 (not merged/found).
Why this helps
A production release can go live while the corresponding pull request remains open, creating uncertainty about the true source of the change.
- Reconciles deployment and repository status
- Highlights incomplete release hygiene
- Reduces manual post-release checking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Vercel and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one.
- 3Tell Notis: After each Vercel production release, check whether its related GitHub pull request is merged and report any release whose pull request remains open.
- 4Pick a recurring post-release schedule and a reporting channel, then test with one recent release.
Questions about this workflow
What happens when the pull request is still open?
Notis reports that it was not confirmed as merged so you can decide the next action.
Can this run every day?
Yes. A daily schedule works well for teams shipping frequently.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Vercel to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Vercel triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.
