Get a plain language explanation of a Codacy pattern
Turn a pattern identifier found in your workflow into a short explanation your team can use to decide what to review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Tool Pattern
Retrieve a code pattern’s definition and configuration details.
Why this helps
Pattern identifiers and technical definitions can interrupt document or code review with a distracting lookup task.
- Retrieve the definition for a specified Codacy tool and pattern.
- Summarize the supplied definition and examples in plain language.
- Keep a technical lookup attached to the document-driven task that prompted it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Codacy once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for pattern explanations.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: retrieve the Codacy pattern definition for the supplied tool and pattern identifiers and explain it using the returned details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real tool and pattern identifier supported by Codacy.
Questions about this workflow
Can this explain a pattern if I only provide its name?
The action requires a specific tool and pattern context. Include the identifiers available from your Codacy setup.
Does this decide whether a finding is a problem in my code?
No. It explains the returned pattern definition. Reviewing its relevance to a specific codebase requires the finding and code context.
