Notis

Start a CircleCI build from a parsed release request

Send a release request to Notis and get the right pipeline started without switching into CircleCI.

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

Release instructions arrive in email or documents, then someone has to re-enter them in CircleCI.

  • Reduce manual handoffs from release requests
  • Start builds from structured request details
  • Keep the request and run in one workflow

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airparser and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to start the requested CircleCI pipeline using the project and branch details in the parsed request.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Send one real parsed release request to test the workflow.
