Auto-Generate PR Summaries in Google Drive
Stop flipping between GitHub and Docs. Notis creates a summary of each new PR in Google Drive so reviewers have context without context-switching.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Context-switching between GitHub and Docs disrupts focus, and pull request details get lost in notification noise. Reviewers waste time re-reading descriptions or GitHub UIs.
- Review queue stays organized in one familiar place
- Summary includes PR title, description, and key metadata
- Reviewers spend less time switching tools
- Pull request history persists in Drive for future reference
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub and Google Drive accounts to Notis (one-time setup).
- 2Tell Notis: 'When a new pull request is created, create a summary document in Google Drive with the PR title, description, and relevant metadata.'
- 3In the portal, select 'New Pull Request Created' as your trigger.
- 4Choose your preferred channel (Slack, email, etc) for Notis to report when automations run.
- 5Test by opening a pull request in your repo and confirm the Doc appears in Drive.
Questions about this workflow
Will this work for all my repositories?
Yes. Notis monitors GitHub events across all repos you've connected. You can specify a particular repo in your automation prompt if you want to narrow the scope.
Can I customize what appears in the summary?
Absolutely. Just tell Notis what you want included—PR number, assignees, labels, branch names, or anything else. Notis interprets your plain-language request.
What happens if someone updates the PR description?
Each update triggers a new summary doc. You can manually delete old versions or ask Notis to archive them automatically.
