Ways Notis can move work from Abstract to Circleci

View example

Validate a release request, then start the build

Check release request text with Abstract, then trigger the CircleCI pipeline when it is ready to build.

View example

Verify a deployment contact before launching a pipeline

Use Abstract to verify a phone number in an incoming deployment request, then start the CircleCI pipeline when the request meets your criteria.

View example

Get a scheduled view of recent project pipelines

Have Notis periodically list CircleCI pipelines for a project and summarize the recent runs for you.

View example

Review workflows attached to a CircleCI pipeline

On a schedule, retrieve workflows for a pipeline and send a compact inventory to your report channel.

View example

Summarize completed job test failures for review

When a webhook supplies a completed CircleCI job number, fetch its test metadata and summarize failures and run times.

View example

Collect a completed job's artifacts on request

Send a completed CircleCI job number to a Notis webhook to retrieve its artifact list and report the available outputs.

Trigger Types

Four ways to start an automation.

A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.

Integration triggers

Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.

New Notion pageStripe chargeCalendar event

Webhook triggers

A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.

Recurring triggers

Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.

Database triggers

Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.

Why AI automation

Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.

Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
