Notify PRs pending to review in Slack.

[Benjamin Granados]

Context

The JSON Schema community has been growing rapidly in recent years, and as a result, our community operations have become more complex. While we've made strides in improving our processes and communication, there is always room for improvement. To that end, We'd like to start a discussion around identifying suitable automations that could help us to focus on generating value for JSON Schema.

Requirements

We'd like to notify in the github channel of slack in a weekly basis the list of PRs pending to review for the repositories: website, community and json-schema-spec.

Can i try this if its available

[Abhinav Saxena]

@benjagm I'd like to try this out.

• The idea is to use a cron and schedule a script to run on a weekly basis such as for 0 12 * * 1

• We can use Github actions workflow with cron syntax and run a script as a job. Alternatively, we can also use Cron for scheduling the script run.

• The script will be responsible for fetching open PRs from a list of Repositories and sending a slack notification to our desired Slack webhook URL.

• For fetching the PRs, I think we can manually call the Github API or use Octokit, whichever suits our needs.

• I will try to post a POC in this thread as soon as possible.
