Turn a failed Buildkite build into an Asana task
Capture the failure while its details are fresh, then give the fix a clear place in Asana.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Build failures can get lost between logs, chat, and task lists, leaving nobody with a clear next step.
- Preserve build context in a trackable task.
- Reduce manual copying from alerts and logs.
- Give failure investigation a clear follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create an Asana task from the Buildkite failure payload and include its supplied build link and error details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Buildkite failure payload.
Questions about this workflow
Does Buildkite start this automation directly?
Buildkite has no listed trigger event here. A request to the Notis webhook starts it, so send the failure payload to that webhook.
Will the task include the full job log?
Only if the payload supplies the log or relevant excerpt. Include the needed details in the webhook payload or instruction.
Can Notis assign the task automatically?
The task action can create a task with supplied details. Provide an assignee or other required context in the prompt or payload if you want it included.
