Sound Familiar?

Questions You Shouldn't Have to Ask

Every day, developers interrupt each other with questions that should have obvious answers.

Code Review

"Has anyone reviewed that PR?"

You submitted it 3 hours ago. Now you're pinging people on Slack.

Deployment

"Has the deploy finished?"

Refreshing GitHub Actions every 2 minutes waiting for the workflow to complete.

Merges

"When was that PR merged?"

Digging through GitHub history to find when a feature actually shipped.

Actions

"Did the workflow pass?"

You pushed 20 minutes ago but didn't hear anything. Is that good or bad?

Coordination

"Who's working on that fix?"

No visibility into what's in progress across your repositories.

Releases

"Is the hotfix live yet?"

Stakeholders asking. You don't know. Time to check GitHub again.

With Pipie, you never have to ask.

The right people get notified at the right time. PR ready for review? The reviewer knows. Workflow failed? On-call knows. Feature merged? The team knows.

Stop Asking, Start Knowing

GitHub Notifications Are Too Limited

GitHub's native Slack app is read-only. Actions only notifies on success or failure. Here's what you're missing:

GitHub Native

  • Actions notifications: success or failure only
  • Can't filter by branch or workflow name
  • No routing to different channels
  • GitHub Slack app is read-only

Pipie Rules Engine

  • Lua conditions with 30+ variables
  • Filter by branch, PR status, workflow
  • Global rules across all repositories
  • Route events to the right channel automatically

Try It Now

Write Rules in Plain Lua

Type mr. or pipeline. to see autocomplete suggestions

This rule notifies when GitHub Actions passes on a PR targeting main

Example Conditions

Actions success
pipeline.status == "success" and mr.provider == "github"

Notify when GitHub Actions workflow completes successfully

PR ready for review
mr.status == "open" and not mr.draft and mr.approvals == 0

Alert when a non-draft PR needs its first review

Main branch deploy
pipeline.ref == "main" and pipeline.status == "success"

Notify when code is deployed to production

GitHub-only events
mr.provider == "github" and mr.repository.name == "acme/frontend"

Filter to specific GitHub repository

Powerful Features

Everything You Need for Smart Notifications

Lua Conditions

Write expressive conditions like pipeline.status == "success"

Actions Support

Real-World Use Cases

See how teams use notification rules to stay focused

Actions Success

Notify #frontend when CI passes on main branch

pipeline.status == "success" and pipeline.ref == "main"

Workflow Failures

Alert #oncall when production deployments fail

pipeline.status == "failed" and pipeline.ref == "main"

PR Reviews

Ping #code-review when PRs are ready for review

mr.status == "open" and not mr.draft and mr.approvals == 0

Repository Filter

Only notify for specific GitHub repositories

mr.provider == "github" and mr.repository.name == "acme/frontend"
New Feature

Dynamic Channel Routing with Lua

Route notifications to different channels based on event data. Use Lua expressions to compute the destination channel at runtime.

  • Route by target branch (main → #releases, develop → #dev)
  • Route by workflow status (failed → #oncall, success → #builds)
  • Route to team channels by author (#team-$author)

Route by branch:

mr.target_branch == "main" and "#prod-alerts" or "#dev-alerts"

Route by workflow status:

pipeline.status == "failed" and "#oncall" or "#builds"

Actions Alerts

Know When Workflows Fail

Get notified immediately when GitHub Actions workflows fail on important branches. Route critical failures to dedicated channels so engineers respond faster.

pipeline.status == "failed" and pipeline.ref == "main"
#oncall
