"EZ PZ setup and powerful features w/ a generous free tier"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

Honestly one of the easiest tools to set up and test out and get integrated out of the box. Allows me to quickly get notifications and centralizes my tools into our existing Slack workflows. We have it wired up for our key repos and it's used daily by all developers. Lastly, i got instant response back from support with my questions when doing research on chat bots.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

Not a dislike but more of a feature that would be nice is if the PR description was listed in the PullNotifier comment thread. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined GitHub notifications that save us time"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

PullNotifier keeps our team on top of pull requests without the need to constantly check GitHub. The notifications are fast, reliable, and highly configurable. I also really like that it immediately shows when code reviews are completed or when a PR has been merged — it makes collaboration much smoother. On top of that, setup took less than 5 minutes, and when we had a question the support team responded to our email very quickly, which gave us extra confidence in the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

There isn’t much to dislike — the service is lightweight and does exactly what it promises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Provides a lot of value for little effort"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

Our small team has been through a few iterations of Slack notifications using the default Github notifications bot. I needed to look up docs every time I changed them, and spent a while tweaking them until they were just right. Even then, they were too verbose–team was still missing details and PRs were going unreviewed. With just a few minutes in PullNotifier, I configured a new channel and the notifications were slimmed down to just the valuable info. It would be hard to switch back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

Little, as I appreciate the minimalism. It might be nice to have some opt-in config for more advanced use cases, e.g. do you want to add notifications for existing PRs when you start? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, but the team is even better"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

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.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

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.

"Great solution and responsive company"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

Very easy to integrate, we've replaced our other various ways of getting notified about pull requests with PullNotifier and it's been excellent. The company is super responsive, turning around feature requests very quickly and committed to making a great, useful product. We've now rolled it out across out whole tech team, with different teams able to configure exactly how they want to be notified for their repositories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

Nothing stands out at the moment, any issues or requests are addressed very rapidly by the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Minimal yet perfect tooling addition"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

Our users have fully integrated the product into their daily communication flow. When we briefly disabled it, the immediate feedback was overwhelming, with many requesting its prompt return. Setup is instant and seamless, thanks to its reliance on SaaS technology and easy-to-integrate connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

The product is still in its early days and exhibits occasional glitches—particularly when performing unexpected actions like switching your Slack team. That said, the support team is quick to resolve any issues. While it could benefit from additional features, I would especially love to see bidirectional messaging, similar to the seamless integration found with some Slack apps like Google Docs.

"Game changer"
What do you like best about PullNotifier?

It covers 99.9% of PR workflows while keeping slack notifications targeted to only those who need it. The other 0.1% of edge cases is quickly shrinking as they have responded to feature requests super quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PullNotifier?

Can't think of any. If I was to pick anything maybe the UI could load a bit faster but you only every touch the UI once a month or less. The thing that is needs to be snappy and is, are the notifications you get from the slack bot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
