Will Seer create PRs automatically?

Issue

I want to know whether Seer opens pull requests on its own, or whether I have to click Fix with Seer on the issue.

Applies To

  • All SaaS Customers with the Seer add-on (Team, Business, Enterprise)

  • Seer / Autofix

Resolution

Yes - but only when project automation is enabled and set to open PRs. Otherwise you start Autofix manually with Fix with Seer on the issue.

In the project’s Seer project settings, turn on automation and set how far Autofix may go:

  • Stop after Root Cause - finds the cause; does not suggest code changes.

  • Stop after Plan - suggests a fix; does not open a PR.

  • Stop after PR Drafted . can open a PR with the fix.

Automatic runs only start when all of these are true:

1. The issue has 10 or more events.

2. The issue occurred within the last 14 days.

3. The issue has a sufficient fixability score from Seer’s model.

Even then, Autofix only goes as far as your stopping point allows. For automatic PRs, use Stop after PR Drafted, keep org-level code generation / PR creation enabled in Seer advanced settings, and connect GitHub.com or GitLab.com repos to the project.

If you recently enabled automation, existing issues still need a manual Fix with Seer run. Automation does not backfill those issues.

For alerts when a PR is created, see Can I be notified when Seer creates a PR automatically?.
