Trigger

Why this helps

  • Retrieve orb metadata and usage statistics
  • Support dependency review handoffs
  • Keep the original request attached to the lookup

  • 1Connect Airparser and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve CircleCI orb details for the orb reference in the parsed request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one parsed dependency request naming an orb.
