Auto-review GitHub PRs, request changes or approve, and notify on Slack
Introduction
Speed up code reviews by auto-checking new pull requests, approving clean ones, flagging issues with reasons, and keeping everyone in the loop on Slack. ✅
Trigger Event
A new GitHub pull request is opened or updated in the selected repository.
Actions
- The flow checks if the PR branch follows your naming policy (e.g., feature_via_YYYY-MM-DD_autonumber). If it’s invalid, it requests changes on GitHub and posts a clear Slack message with the PR link.
- It fetches the PR’s file changes and recent commit details to understand who authored the change.
- It enriches file changes with the related task context (from your viaSocket Table) so the review runs with business context, not just code diffs.
- Using stored workspace memory (prior AI/peer checks), it compiles an overall decision with a rating and numbered reasons. If any block requires fixes, the decision becomes “Reject”; otherwise, it’s “Approve.”
- If Approved: it submits an “APPROVE” review on the PR.
- If Rejected: it posts a “REQUEST_CHANGES” review with a human-readable, numbered reason summary.
- The outcome is saved to your Developers_Metrics table (pull number, task link, assignee from commit, AI decision, rating, and a final score). If a record already exists for this PR, it updates it and increments the rejection count.
- Optional delay logic spaces out actions based on change volume to reduce noise on busy repos.
- If unexpected outcomes occur, it can ping a maintainer on Slack DM for quick attention.
Benefits
- Faster reviews: approve simple PRs automatically; flag risky ones with clear reasons
- Fewer misses: enforces branch naming and UI test-id rules consistently
- Instant visibility: Slack alerts with direct PR links for the right channels
- Better tracking: stores every PR review decision and score in a table for reporting
- Reduced back-and-forth: numbered reasons help developers fix issues faster
