Start a CircleCI pipeline when certificates are issued

When your certificate workflow reports a completed issuance, let Notis start the related CircleCI pipeline.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Trigger Pipeline

Starts a new CI/CD pipeline run for a project.

Why this helps

Certificate issuance can leave a follow-up build waiting on someone to notice the event and start it manually.

  • Start a configured pipeline from an issuance notification.
  • Reduce manual handoffs between credential operations and engineering.
  • Keep the pipeline run visible in CircleCI.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Accredible certificates and CircleCI once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3Describe that an issuance notification should start the appropriate CircleCI pipeline.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real issuance notification and confirm the pipeline starts.

Questions about this workflow

Does Accredible certificates provide a Notis trigger event here?

No. This workflow starts from a Notis webhook, which an external system calls when it reports an issuance.

What does the CircleCI action do?

It triggers a pipeline for a project. The project and branch or tag must be supplied in the instruction or available in the request context.

Does this issue certificates in Accredible?

No. Accredible is the source context for the notification; the action starts a CircleCI pipeline.
