Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Batch update spreadsheet
Updates a specified range in a google sheet with given values, or appends them as new rows if `first cell location` is omitted; ensure the target sheet exists and the spreadsheet contains at least one worksheet.
Why this helps
Build failures can get buried in logs, leaving the team to rediscover what broke and what needs attention.
- Collect relevant failure context in one view.
- Make recurring issues easier to spot.
- Keep follow-up decisions visible outside the build log.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Google Sheets once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a named automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to extract failure details from the submitted build information and update the chosen sheet range.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a destination for run reports.
- 5Test with one real failed build example and review the written values.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis inspect a failed build automatically?
This workflow starts from a Notis webhook because no Buildkite trigger events are listed. Include the failure information or accessible log details in the request.
Can I include owner and next step columns?
Yes. Ask Notis to include them, but provide owner or next-step information in the request if it is not available from Buildkite.
