Create a release brief from CircleCI deployment updates
Give each deployment a clear, shareable record without stopping to format one yourself.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Document
Tool to create a PDF or Excel document synchronously from HTML content or URL. Use when you need to generate a document file from HTML data. The document is returned immediately as a downloadable file. Either document_content or document_url must be provided, but not both.
Why this helps
Release details are easy to lose across build output, commit notes, and chat when you need to communicate a launch quickly.
- Produce a consistent launch handoff as soon as a deployment succeeds.
- Keep environment and version details alongside the change summary.
- Spend less time switching between CI output and a document editor.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and DocRaptor to Notis once in the portal.
- 2In Automations, create a new automation and describe the release brief outcome in one plain-language prompt.
- 3Choose an incoming webhook trigger and configure your CircleCI notification service or backend to send the deployment details to it.
- 4Select a channel for run reports, then test with one real deployment notification.
Questions about this workflow
Does CircleCI provide the trigger for this automation?
CircleCI has no Notis integration trigger events in this setup. An external CircleCI notification service or custom backend must send an HTTP request to the Notis webhook.
What does DocRaptor create?
The automation asks DocRaptor to create a PDF from HTML assembled from the deployment details supplied in the request.
