Reply to PR Comments
Use the Reply button on a comment notification to open a modal and post a GitHub reply.Add Reactions
Use emoji buttons (👍, 🎉, 👀, ❤️) to add GitHub reactions from Slack.
React with a native Slack emoji
You can also react to a comment notification with a native Slack emoji (the same way you react to any Slack message), and GitNotifier mirrors it onto the underlying GitHub comment. Remove the emoji to remove the GitHub reaction. Supported reactions:
Any other emoji is ignored. GitNotifier confirms the action with a short reply in the message thread.
Reactions only sync to GitHub on comment notifications. If you react to another kind of notification (for example a CI status update), GitNotifier replies with a short hint instead, and points you to 🔇
:mute: when the message references a pull request.
Mute a PR with a reaction
React to a PR notification with 🔇 (:mute: or :no_bell:) to mute that pull request. Remove the reaction to unmute and restore notifications. This is the same mute rule you can manage with /gitnotifier mute or in Slack App Home. See Mute Rules.
Merge Ready PRs
When a PR is ready, GitNotifier can show a Merge button in Slack.Notes
- You must have a linked GitHub account in GitNotifier.
- Organization SAML/SSO policies can require reauthorization before actions succeed.
- Reactions run against your own GitHub account, so each person’s reaction or mute applies only to them.
- If GitNotifier replies that it is missing Slack permissions, ask a workspace admin to re-install the app with the latest scopes. See Slack Permissions.
