How can I fine tune the watch per repository?

Question

Body

I'd like to watch a repo and get notified only when a PR or issue is open or closed, not on every single thing
which is definitely a thing that is possible if you select it per pr/issue

But I'd like to extend it to every issue or PR.

Those are the only options I have. For large projects I'd like to only get notified on PR and issue open and then I can choose if it interests me enough to actually subscribe.

To get notified only when a pull request (PR) or issue is opened or closed in a GitHub repository, first, watch the repository and select "Custom" notifications, ensuring "Issues" and "Pull requests" are checked. Since GitHub doesn't directly filter for open/close events in standard settings, use a GitHub Action to send notifications. Create a workflow file in .github/workflows/ with a script that sends a message when an issue or PR is opened or closed. Alternatively, use GitHub apps or third-party services like Zapier to set up custom notifications that filter for these specific events. This setup ensures you only receive alerts for the actions you care about. @dev-ardi
