Give recurring test failures a place to be investigated
Create focused investigation work when a CircleCI signal points to a test that keeps failing.
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
Recurring test failures can be normalized and left without an owner or investigation record.
- Give recurring failures a distinct investigation task.
- Include the run evidence CircleCI provides.
- Make test reliability work easier to track.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create an investigation task when the webhook and available CircleCI history indicate a recurring test failure.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recurring failure signal and review the task.
Questions about this workflow
Does this determine flakiness without history?
No. It needs recurring failure evidence from CircleCI or an explicit rule and supporting context in the webhook request.
What should the task include?
Ask for the test name, run references, branch, and observed failure details when those are available.
