Routing

Reminders

Post a scheduled Slack digest of open pull requests and merge requests that have been sitting too long. Each reminder picks repos, one Slack channel, a local time, and filters. Reminders are independent of channel mappings - you do not need a mapping for a repo to include it here.

Where to configure

Connect Slack and the git hosts you want to scan under Sources.
Open Routing > Reminders.
Click Add reminder, choose repositories or projects, a Slack channel, schedule, and filters, then save.

Owners and admins can create and edit reminders. Members can view them.

What gets posted

At the scheduled local time, MergeMe lists open PRs/MRs on the selected repos and posts one Slack message listing those older than your stale threshold. Each line is the linked title, the repo name, and how many days it has been open.

If more than 10 match, Slack shows the 10 newest by open date, then +N more.

This is a new channel message, not a reply on existing PR/MR cards. The same PR/MR can appear in more than one reminder if you overlap schedules.

Schedule

Pick a timezone, which weekdays to run, and a time (on the hour, or at :15, :30, or :45). MergeMe runs each reminder once per local calendar day. Editing the time after it has already posted that day will not send a second digest until the next scheduled weekday.

What counts as stale

Age is measured from the PR/MR created date (reopened items can look stale immediately). A match must be open and older than PRs/MRs stale after. Optional filters:

Ignore PRs/MRs older than - skip reviews that have been sitting forever, so an ancient unclosed PR doesn't keep showing up. When set, Slack also mentions that cutoff on the digest.
Skip draft PRs/MRs - on by default.
Respect excluded usernames - on by default; uses the blocklist from Preferences.
Post to Slack even when there are no matches - off by default (silent). When on, posts a short all-clear message.

GitHub and GitLab.com only

Reminders scan open PRs/MRs through the GitHub App and GitLab.com OAuth connection. Self-hosted GitLab is not supported yet. If you'd like reminders on self-hosted GitLab, reach out at hello@mergeme.dev.
