Celebrate and track merged PRs automatically
The moment your PR is merged in GitHub, Notis marks it complete in your tracking sheet. No manual updates. You see the full lifecycle of every PR from creation to completion.
Trigger
Pull Request Event
Triggered when a pull request is opened, closed, or synchronized.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
PRs you've closed in GitHub still show 'open' in your tracking sheet because you forgot to update it. Incomplete tracking creates false urgency and you lose sense of what you actually finished. Celebration of shipped work gets buried.
- Automatic closure markers reduce manual update burden
- Clear view of completed work vs work in progress
- Visible track record of shipped features for motivation and reviews
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Sheets to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a pull request is merged in GitHub, update its row in my tracker sheet and mark the status as Completed.'
- 3Select 'Pull Request Event' (merged) as your trigger and pick your notification channel.
- 4Add a Status column to your tracking sheet with values like 'Open', 'In Review', 'Merged', 'Completed'. Notis will update it.
- 5Merge a test PR and confirm your tracker sheet updates within seconds.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis also track when PRs are closed without merging?
Yes. You can set up separate automations for merged vs closed PRs, and mark them differently.
What if I want to capture who merged the PR?
Notis includes the merger's name and timestamp automatically. You can ask it to highlight specific mergers if needed.
Can this trigger deployment workflows?
Not directly, but you can tell Notis to update a 'Ready to Deploy' column, which you can then use to trigger other automations.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Sheets. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Sheets actions

Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Aggregate Column Data
Searches for rows where a specific column matches a value and performs mathematical operations on data from another column.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Append Dimension
Tool to append new rows or columns to a sheet, increasing its size. use when you need to add empty rows or columns to an existing sheet.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed

Batch get spreadsheet
Retrieves data from specified cell ranges in a google spreadsheet; ensure the spreadsheet has at least one worksheet and any explicitly referenced sheet names in ranges exist.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Batch Update Values by Data Filter
Tool to update values in ranges matching data filters. use when you need to update specific data in a google sheet based on criteria rather than fixed cell ranges.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Clear Basic Filter
Tool to clear the basic filter from a sheet. use when you need to remove an existing basic filter from a specific sheet within a google spreadsheet.
