Discord Pull Request Notifications

Listens to new pull requests from a Github repository and sends a message to a Discord text channel when a pull request is created. This is done through Github Webhooks, the Github API, and the Discordjs Bot Library.

Config

Create or use a Discord bot with its own token and add it to your Discord server. To get the ID of a channel, you will need to enable developer mode.

Additionally, you will need to create or use a Github personal access token.

Create a .env file (or add environmental variables) with the following information:

TOKEN="[Discord bot token]"
GH_USER="[Github Username]"
GH_AUTH="[Github personal access token]"
REPO="[Repository name (ie. MichaelZhao21/michaelzhao)]"
CHANNEL_ID="[ID of text channel to send messages to]"
PORT="[Port to use (optional)]"

Go to your repo Settings and click on Webhooks. Press Add Webhook to add a new webhook:

• Under Payload URL, type in the URL of where you are hosting this program (The POST request is listening on the root path)
• Change Content type to application/json
• Under Which events would you like to trigger this webhook?, select Let me select individual events and ONLY check Pull requests
• Then press save!

Running

Simply type yarn start
