Bring recent CircleCI runs into the QA handoff
Pair a QA handoff packet with a quick view of recent pipeline runs, without hunting through another dashboard.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Pipelines for Project
Retrieves all pipelines for a project.
Why this helps
A handoff can arrive without a clear view of the recent builds, forcing reviewers to switch tools and search for the right run.
- Retrieve recent pipelines when a QA packet is ready for review.
- Keep the pipeline lookup connected to the handoff context.
- Make it easier to spot the relevant run before review proceeds.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the webhook request's project details to list recent pipelines for the QA handoff.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and have the handoff process send a request when the packet is ready.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real handoff and check that the returned pipelines are useful.
Questions about this workflow
Does this workflow retrieve test results?
No. It lists pipelines for a project. Use CircleCI's separate Get Test Metadata action when detailed test results are needed.
What project details are available to the workflow?
Only details included in the webhook request or otherwise supplied in your instruction. The workflow cannot assume missing project or pipeline information.
