Get CircleCI job details from an Asana comment

When someone asks about a CI run in a task discussion, have Notis fetch the referenced job details and send the result to your chosen report channel.

Trigger

New Comment on Task

Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.

Action

Get Job Details

Tool to fetch details of a specific job within a project. use when you need status, timing, and executor information for a circleci job by its number.

Why this helps

Questions about a job number can trigger a round trip from Asana to CircleCI and back just to find its status and timing.

  • Keep job questions close to the conversation that raised them.
  • Fetch status, timing, and executor information for a specific job.
  • Make follow-up easier to find in a chosen report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Asana and CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the job lookup.
  • 3Describe in one instruction how to retrieve details for a CircleCI job referenced in a new comment.
  • 4Pick the Asana New Comment on Task trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment that includes a valid CircleCI job number.

Questions about this workflow

Can this look up a job if the comment has no job number?

The action requires a specific job number. The instruction should ask for a number in the comment or identify the missing detail in the report.

What information can the lookup return?

The action fetches details for a specific CircleCI job, including status, timing, and executor information.
