Automatically detect stalled pull requests and send progressive reminders to reviewers, escalating to team leads when needed.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub

Monitor pull request status

Track all open pull requests and identify ones that have been waiting for review longer than your team's SLA (e.g., 24 hours).

2

Zapier

Trigger reminder sequence

Set up time-based triggers that activate when PRs remain unreviewed: first reminder at 24 hours, second at 48 hours, escalation at 72 hours.

3

Slack

Send targeted notifications

Send direct messages to assigned reviewers for first reminders, then post to team channels for visibility, and finally notify team leads for escalation.
