Personal Notifications
Perhaps this is already possible but I'm just not aware.
I would love if I could receive a private message from the Github bot when I've been notified on one of my organizations repos.
Basically, I don't want to have to watch my email for when someone is @mentioning me on github for work. I would rather those be rolled up into a private message from the Github bot.
Configuration around this so that I could only see notifications for my organizations' repos or all repos would be the ultimate.
I think you mean personalized notifications, not personal repos ;)
But I agree with you and will go even further: each person on my team needs to be able to opt-in or out of notifications, by reason (and have those notifications posted to a channel of their choice):
assign| You were assigned to the Issue.author| You created the thread.comment| You commented on the thread.invitation| You accepted an invitation to contribute to the repository.manual| You subscribed to the thread (via an Issue or Pull Request).mention| You were specifically @mentioned in the content.state_change| You changed the thread state (for example, closing an Issue or merging a Pull Request).subscribed| You're watching the repository.team_mention| You were on a team that was mentioned.
The key is that everyone on our team of developers and non-technical staff do not want the same level of notifications, and we all want the fewest we can possibly receive while remaining productive.
We currently accomplish this by using Gmail filters and a Slack email address created for each user that posts to a different room for each user. It's hacky.
Gentle bump on this. Internally this would help the @github/services team tremendously in regards to keeping up with comms and allowing us to respond within a reasonable timeframe!
Any progress on this? Is there any way I can help? This would be huge for us in filtering out noise in github activity streams
@wilhelmklopp, @bkeepers -- any chance you could give us an idea of what would be necessary for this to happen? What can we do to help move this forward?
Pull Reminders does this and is available in the GitHub Marketplace.
You can subscribe to DM notifications for issue and pull request related events including:
- Review requests
- Team review requests
- Reviews
- Comment on your issues or PRs
- Comment mentions
- Team comment mentions
- Replies to comments you've posted
- Merge conflicts
- Failed CI checks
I maintain Pull Reminders so if pricing is problematic for anyone, please email me at [email protected] and I'd be happy to give your team a free account.
@Hollywood Thanks! Btw, if you want to use Pull Reminders internally at GitHub you're more than welcome to free licenses abound.
We have started using PullReminders and it satisfies all our needs - gives us the personal notifications we wanted and the stats help us identify bottlenecks. It's super convenient. Thanks @abinoda !
Unfortunately, though Pull Reminders works for PRs, issues are still not customizable as requested here
@vict0rsch Don't want to sidetrack this issue thread but did want to respond to say that we expect personal notifications for Issues to be added in the very near-term.
Did you plan work on it? Want this feature, is there any way I can help? I would like to join
FYI - The company behind Pull Reminders is joining GitHub. The product is free now and its features will be integrated into GH core: https://pullpanda.com/github
@leifhanack I coincidentally just arrived at this issue looking for this func, two hours after you posted that.
Great!
Note for others, "Pull Panda" really is the same github marketplace app as "Pull Reminders" mentioned above. The above link to a "Pull Reminders" github marketplace app actually takes you to one called "Pull Panda", I'd guess it got renamed sometime after the earlier comment was made.
But its unclear to me if Pull Panda supports Slack message from an @ mention in a PR or Issue, which is actually what I came here interested in!
Hi everybody 👋 ,
thanks for all your great input. It is correct, that Pull-Panda joined GitHub and Pull-Reminders are part of Pull-Panda. The different parts are going to be integrated into GitHub, but this does not mean, that there is no room for personal notifications in the Slack integration.
Some kind of personal notifications for certain events is on the roadmap of things we want to improve. I don't have an ETA right now, but I will keep y'all posted.
For what it's worth, you can subscribe within the private GitHub app-channel, and only you will get the notifications you subscribe to.
Any update on this? Now that Pull Reminders is not available in the Marketplace, there doesn't seem the be a good option for personal notifications.
@hbd we're currently working on integrating it into GitHub. Checkout Pull Panda in the meantime. It's still @abinoda's Pull Reminders, but it has evolved into more. And the best part is that it's free!
@Hollywood
Pull Panda is not accepting signups 😞
Is there another way to use the product? Does it support notifications on 'issues' yet?
Just googled for this feature and found this issue. I would also really appreciate having this functionality available.
I guess I'll give this another bump - would be a really awesome feature to have available!
How is this still not a thing 2+ years after issue was opened and clear need from the community?
While waiting for this feature, I have found this project to be very useful. It doesn't send your notifications to slack, rather integrates with the MacOS notification system which works well enough for me given this feature doesn't exist.
For what it's worth, you can subscribe within the private GitHub app-channel, and only you will get the notifications you subscribe to.
Yes, but I am unable to subscribe only to comments where I am @ mentioned. Can't wait for this feature! Yesterday I missed a GH email where I was @ mentioned and it delayed someone's work. If I were able to get a Slack notification I could have responded right away. Thanks!!
My team switched to GitHub recently. Really glad we did with remote work really taking off. The only downside and complaint from my team in retrospectives is exactly this. If we could just get an @mention in slack when we get an @mention in GitHub, our lives would be complete.
Bump and context. Thanks to anyone already working on this feature!
This is now possible by enabling this setting: https://github.com/settings/reminders
The only thing I wish they would implement is that they send the reminder daily, but I would also love to be able to ask for the content of the reminder whenever I want, for instance with a command like /github reminder.
Otherwise it works great! :)
@EtienneM That URL is a 404 for me?
Oh maybe they are doing rolling release of this feature or it's a beta. I don't know :man_shrugging:
