Create an incident timeline from deployment signals
Preserve the sequence of events while the team focuses on restoring service.
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
Incident timelines often get reconstructed later from multiple systems, when timestamps and context are harder to gather.
- Preserve event order and timestamps from incoming notifications.
- Create a concise handoff for the incident review.
- Reduce the memory burden of rebuilding the timeline afterward.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and DocRaptor to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation with a plain-language prompt to turn supplied production event details into an incident timeline PDF.
- 3Choose the incoming webhook trigger and configure the alerting backend to send relevant event details to it.
- 4Select a run-report channel and test with one real incident or rollback notification.
Questions about this workflow
Does the workflow detect production incidents by itself?
No. The webhook starts the workflow when your alerting service or custom backend sends the incident details to Notis.
Can the timeline include rollback activity?
Yes, if the incoming request contains rollback events and their relevant timestamps.
