Pacia Notifications
Pull request activity from Pacia — opened, reviewed, commented, merged, and pickup-agreement escalations — right inside VS Code. Built for teams whose chat platform (e.g. Microsoft Teams) is locked down by IT, so PR activity still reaches you without leaving the editor.
Features
- Sidebar view — a Pacia icon in the Activity Bar with sections for PRs waiting on your review, PRs due soon or already past your team's pickup agreement, PRs you're participating in, and recent notifications.
- Native notifications — a toast for every PR event as it happens (opened, reviewed, commented, merged, pickup escalation), with an "Open PR" action.
- Outstanding PR badge — the Activity Bar icon shows a live count of PRs waiting for your review.
- PR Queue view — a dedicated panel listing everything waiting on you.
- Escalations view — PRs that have breached, or are close to breaching, your team's review pickup agreement.
- Search across PRs and notifications from the sidebar.
- Branded PR detail cards — open any PR to see title, author, diff stats, branch, and review state without switching to the browser.
- Configurable polling interval and API URL — points at your organization's Pacia instance, self-hosted or cloud.
Requirements
A Pacia account with at least one connected GitHub/GitLab repository. Sign in from the sidebar with your Pacia email and password (multi-factor authentication is supported — you'll be prompted for your 6-digit code if MFA is enabled on your account).

Description |
pacia.apiBaseUrl |
https://api.pacia.io |
Base URL of the Pacia API. Change this if you're self-hosting or testing locally. |
pacia.pollIntervalSeconds |
20 |
How often to check for new notifications. Takes effect immediately, no restart needed. |
Both are also reachable from the sidebar's "..." menu (Pacia: Set API URL / Pacia: Set Poll Interval).
Getting started
- Install the extension.
- Click the Pacia icon in the Activity Bar and select Sign In.
- Enter your Pacia credentials (and MFA code, if enabled).
- PRs waiting for your review, escalations, and recent activity will populate the sidebar — and you'll get a native notification as new activity comes in.
Privacy
The extension only talks to the Pacia API URL configured in settings, using your own Pacia session. No code, diffs, or repository contents are read or transmitted — only PR metadata (title, author, state, review status) already visible in your Pacia dashboard.
