Question 1

Can NoClick post GitHub activity to Slack?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Poll GitHub with list operations such as list-issues or list-pull-requests, then use Slack's post-message operation to send each new item to a channel. The message can include the title, author, and a link.

Question 2

How do I create a GitHub issue from a Slack message?

Accepted Answer

Slack provides a trigger that fires when a message is posted in a channel the bot is in. Route that message into GitHub's create-issue operation, mapping the message text to the issue body.

Question 3

Can I tag specific reviewers in the Slack notification?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Read the assigned reviewers from the GitHub pull request, then build a Slack message that mentions those users so the right people see the request.

Question 4

Can I schedule a stale-PR reminder?

Accepted Answer

Use GitHub's list-pull-requests operation on a cron trigger, filter to pull requests older than your threshold, and send a Slack reminder so reviews do not stall.

Question 5

Does posting to Slack need a GitHub webhook?

Accepted Answer

No. NoClick polls GitHub on a schedule and only acts on items it has not seen before, so you can run the whole workflow with a cron trigger and the Slack post-message operation.
