Give every difficult Buildkite failure a debug page
Start debugging with the run context and useful log evidence already collected in a dedicated Notion page.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Why this helps
Troubleshooting stalls when job logs are scattered and there is no shared place to capture what has already been checked.
- Give an investigation a dedicated shared workspace.
- Keep relevant log evidence close to investigation notes.
- Make handoffs clearer when someone else needs to continue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Buildkite and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Notion page for the selected Buildkite job, summarize its failure context, include relevant log evidence, and list open investigation questions.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real job and verify the new page contains accessible, relevant details.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis include the entire log?
Ask for relevant excerpts and a concise summary. The available details depend on the Buildkite connection and the size of the run output.
Where will the page be created?
Name the intended parent page or location in your instruction. The Notion integration must have access to it.
Does the page prove why the job failed?
No. It organizes evidence and questions to support debugging; any proposed cause needs validation.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Buildkite to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
