Make pipeline blockers visible to the right person
Send a clear blocker notice with the dependency and action needed to move forward.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
A blocked pipeline can wait while teams assume someone else has noticed the dependency holding up progress.
- Calls attention to a reported dependency blocker
- Includes the available pipeline context
- States the specific help or action requested
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appcircle and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for dependency blocker alerts.
- 3Tell Notis to email the specified contact only when the webhook reports a blocked pipeline dependency, including available details and the action needed.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real blocked pipeline request and verify the alert.
Questions about this workflow
Does Notis infer which dependency is blocking the pipeline?
It can report dependency details available in the request or from Appcircle. It should not invent details that are missing.
Can I notify different people for different blockers?
Specify routing instructions and provide the necessary ownership details to the automation.
