Turn deployment emails into CircleCI runs
Keep deployment requests moving: Notis can read a new email and start the requested CircleCI pipeline when the required details are present.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
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 instructions get buried in the inbox, leaving someone to copy the project and branch into CircleCI by hand.
- Reduce inbox-to-deployment context switching.
- Start a pipeline from an authorized request with sufficient project and branch details.
- Leave ambiguous or incomplete requests for follow-up instead of guessing.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to create one from your usual channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction, including who can authorize a run and what to do when details are missing.
- 4Pick Agent mail's New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment request email.
Questions about this workflow
Will it run a pipeline for every new email?
Describe the authorization and request conditions in your instruction. Notis should start a run only when the email meets them and includes the details CircleCI needs.
What if the email leaves out the project or branch?
Tell Notis to report the missing information and wait for clarification rather than infer it.
