How do I submit a review on a GitHub PR?

Short answer: You can submit pr review in GitHub by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the GitHub Submit PR Review action to a workflow, map its 5 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Submit PR Review.

What does the Submit PR Review action do in GitHub?
Submits a review on a GitHub pull request: APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT. Used for AI code review or for cross-system approval gating.
What inputs does Submit PR Review require?
Required: Owner, Repository, PR Number, Review Action. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if GitHub returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message GitHub returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Submit PR Review support batch operations?
Run Submit PR Review inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within GitHub's rate limits.
