I’d like to consider adding a Github Matrix bot to notify on _new_ PRs (and nothing else) in the [ansible-build-data repo](https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-build-data) to the [https://matrix.to/#/#release-management:ansible.com](https://matrix.to/#/#release-management:ansible.com) room similar to the one that the website room has. I’m generally against these type of bots, but I think it makes sense for the release management room which we only use to track/coordinate the release process. The release manager always pastes a link to ansible-build-data release PRs, anyways. I think limiting the bot to only ping when a new PR is opened and nothing else would be useful without creating too much noise. [@release-managers](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/release-managers), what do you think? @gwmngilfen, would this be feasible? ---

👍 from my side. (And yes, in general I would avoid such bots as well.) ---

> [@gotmax23](#): > > [gwmngilfen](https://forum.ansible.com/u/gwmngilfen), would this be feasible? Are we talking about the bot I’m using in the Website WG room? I can arrange that, and I _think_ it one of the options is “PR → Created” so that would be the “new-only” you’re looking for. Let me know if you’re going ahead, and I can hook you up. ---

That sounds good to me. Thanks! Let’s wait a bit for more feedback and then set it up if nobody else has objections. ---

@gwmngilfen, I think we can go ahead and do it. ---

[@admins](https://forum.ansible.com/groups/admins) this bot in [https://matrix.to/#/#release-management:ansible.com](https://matrix.to/#/#release-management:ansible.com) broke recently. Can someone please take a look? ---

@gotmax23 thanks for reporting, unsure why this stopped working. I’ve set to notifications for: - Issues: Created - PRs: Opened, Closed let me know if that needs changing ---

Thanks for fixing it! We previously had this set to only > **PRs** : Opened and nothing else, but if nobody objects, I guess expanding the set of notification events is alright. ---

I think that’s fine. Thanks everyone!
