Spot builds that have been running too long
Set a runtime threshold once and let a scheduled review surface matching builds in Airtable for a closer look.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified airtable table; field values must conform to the table's column types.
Why this helps
Long-running builds can consume time and attention before anyone notices they need a check.
- Surface builds that cross a threshold you define.
- Keep follow-up items in a familiar shared tracker.
- Avoid repeated dashboard checks for runtime exceptions.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Airtable once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, provide the runtime threshold and ask Notis to create a record for each accessible build exceeding it based on available timestamps.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real run and check the returned timestamps against the threshold.
Questions about this workflow
What threshold does the workflow use?
You supply it in the instruction, such as a duration appropriate for your pipelines. The workflow needs accessible timestamps to assess it.
Can it flag builds without start times?
It should not infer elapsed time without usable timestamps. Those builds can be omitted or noted as lacking the required data.
