PullNotifier Pros and Cons

This tool provides a very convenient way to monitor all PRs in an organization. Simply create a channel, connect PullNotifier to it, and you will be notified of every PR. The status of the PR changes smoothly in the same massage, so there's not a lot of noise from it, which is very important. But what I like most about PullNotifier is how quickly I get feedback from them when I encounter an issue. Love it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are cases when PullNotifier is just not your tool. For example, if you have multiple teams supporting monrepo, it's not yet possible to get notifications to different slack channels.

Also, the UX of the PullNotifier dashboard is pretty bad. It took us some time to set up PullNotifier and even more time to pay for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the way it compacts pull request information into a single slack comment per pull request. Especially with follow up activity showing up as coments in a thread.

Other tools we've used previously spammed the channel with way too much noise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't think of something I don't like at the moment. Maybe the discoverability of the admin interface on https://pullnotifier.com/ could be improved. Hard for me to say now that I've learned where everything is, but at first the onboarding was a little confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Compared to the native GitHub Slack integration, PullNotifier helps us reduce noise and stay connected on work items much better. It's very helpful in our all-remote context, where we rely heavily on written communication, with Slack being the central hub for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I had more control over the routing of messages and the associated rules. There are some of our more advanced workflows that it doesn't yet support fully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application is amazing and improved our workflow immensely! We found it after some investigation on similar tools and it has been a great helper.

The team has loved quickly receiving updates on pull requests statuses and comments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It could have a little bit more customization like allowing to choose what message each status will return, or choosing custom Slack emojis to accompany each status :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was super easy to get setup and the notifications were concise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would want more features such as inclusion of comments for PR review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this integration is that it doesn't spam your Slack Channel. It updates the message in place unlike the official github integration we adds a new message everytime the PR changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When the connection is "inactive" you can still trigger sending test notifications and the UI tells you it succeeded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
