Why this helps
Build context and the document it affects often drift apart across separate tools.
- Keep context attached to the relevant file.
- Make follow-up review easier for collaborators.
- Avoid creating a separate note when a comment is enough.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Google Drive once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in plain language or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize supplied failure details and comment on the specified Drive file.
- 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with a real request and a Drive file the automation is allowed to comment on.
Questions about this workflow
What does the request need to identify?
It needs to provide the target Drive file and the Buildkite failure details to summarize.
Can the workflow comment on a file it cannot identify?
No. The target file must be specified by the request so Notis can add the comment to the intended file.
