Move deployment requests from WhatsApp into CircleCI
Ask for a build in chat. Notis can start the CircleCI pipeline and send a run report to your chosen channel.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Trigger Pipeline
Tool to trigger a new pipeline for the specified project. use when you need to start a build on a branch or tag programmatically.
Why this helps
Deployment requests get buried in chat, then someone has to find the right project and start the build manually.
- Capture build requests where the team already talks
- Reduce manual handoffs between chat and CI
- Keep a run report in a channel you choose
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 2chat and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation by telling Notis in plain language or using Automations, New Automation in the portal.
- 3Describe that a WhatsApp request should start a CircleCI pipeline for the project and branch stated in the request.
- 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real WhatsApp request that includes a project and branch.
Questions about this workflow
Does 2chat provide a trigger event for this workflow?
No. This workflow uses Notis's webhook trigger, which starts when an HTTP request reaches it.
Can the request identify the project and branch?
Include them in the request. Notis can use details supplied in the incoming request when triggering the pipeline.
Where will I see the result?
Choose a report channel during setup. The workflow triggers the pipeline and reports the run; it does not claim to monitor its completion.
