GitHub PR Auto‑Review: Approve/Request Changes + Slack Alerts
Introduction
Speed up code reviews without losing quality. This workflow auto‑reviews new GitHub pull requests, enforces branch naming, scores changes, stores results, and alerts your team on Slack. ✅
Trigger Event
When a pull request is opened/updated in your GitHub repo, the automation starts.
Actions
- First, it checks the branch name format (e.g., feature_via_YYYY-MM-DD_1234). If invalid, it posts a polite Slack message and requests changes on the PR.
- If the branch is fine, it pulls the list of changed files and recent commit details.
- It fetches the related task from your viaSocket Table (by matching the branch) and embeds helpful task context into each file change.
- The workflow gathers prior AI decisions from memory, rates the current changes, and produces a single decision: Approve or Request Changes, with numbered reasons.
- Based on the decision:
- Approve: it submits an Approve review on GitHub.
- Request Changes: it posts a Request Changes review on GitHub with a clear markdown summary of what to fix, and notifies a Slack channel.
- It then saves or updates a Developer Metrics row in viaSocket Table: PR link/number, AI decision and rating, assignee (from commit author), rejection count, and a final score.
- A short, smart delay scales with the size of the PR to reduce noise on very large change sets.
- Finally, it tidies up temporary memory for a clean next run. 🔔
