Ask for help with a CircleCI job failure
Make a useful debugging request without rebuilding the context from scratch.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Asking for help takes longer when the failure details and the actual question are scattered.
- Include the failure details you already have.
- Ask focused questions instead of sending a vague alert.
- Review the recipient and message before sending.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it Job Failure Debug Request.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect the CircleCI job identified by the request and draft an email that summarizes the failure, includes available evidence, and asks concise debugging questions.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger, select where run reports should go, and test with one real example.
Questions about this workflow
Will it include logs?
It can include relevant log details if they are available to Notis. Ask it to summarize rather than paste excessive output.
Does it send the request?
No. It creates a Gmail draft so you can choose recipients and review the technical details.
