Configuration & Settings

The Configuration & Settings section explains how to customize PullPro for your team’s needs. In this section, you’ll find guidance on configuring routing settings for pull requests, setting working hours to ensure reminders are sent only during the appropriate times and more.

Routing Settings

The routing settings allow you to control in which Slack channels your GitHub PRs are automatically posted to. Routing can be configured based on different criteria, such as the assigned team or the repository of the PR. This helps keep your PR reviews organized and relevant to the right team members.

Configuring Routing

  • Routing is based on three key factors, in the following order:
    1. Assigned Team: If a team is assigned as a reviewer on a PR, the PR will be posted in the corresponding team's Slack channel. Refer to GitHub CODEOWNERS file for creating team assignments.
    2. Author’s Team: If no team is assigned, the PR will be routed to a Slack channel based on the author's team.
    3. Repository Mapping: If neither of the above apply, the PR will be routed based on the repository's pre-configured channel assignment.
  • You can create and update these rules in the Slack home tab for PullPro.

Examples of Routing

  • If a team called Frontend is assigned as a reviewer for a PR, that PR will be automatically posted in the #frontend-reviews channel.
  • For a repository dedicated to DevOps, all PRs from that repo might automatically go to #devops-reviews, ensuring relevant team members see them.

Working Hours

Configuring working hours allows you to control when reminders for PRs are sent. This ensures that PR reminders are only sent during active work hours, avoiding unnecessary notifications outside of working time.

Setting Working Hours

  • Go to the Slack home tab for PullPro and open the modal to configure your work schedule.
  • Select which days of the week are regular working days.
  • Define the start and end times of your working days.
