Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Checking multiple pipelines by hand each morning makes it easy to miss a failure or spend time on routine successes.
- Brings recent pipeline outcomes into one draft.
- Calls attention to failures and unresolved issues.
- Lets you review the digest before sending.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Gmail once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review recent builds and draft a digest of failures, notable successes, and open issues.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real reporting period and review its coverage and timezone.
Questions about this workflow
Can the digest compare against prior days?
Only if the relevant prior-period data is available to the automation. Otherwise, provide a baseline or ask for a summary of the current period alone.
Can it send automatically?
This workflow creates a draft. Review and send it in Gmail.
How should I choose the schedule?
Pick a recurring time that fits your working day and account for the timezone used by the schedule.
