Turn CircleCI failures into a daily Gmail brief

Start the day with one clear summary of builds that need attention.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

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

Checking several CircleCI projects every morning makes it easy to miss a failed build or lose time to dashboard hopping.

  • See recent failures in one place.
  • Keep the summary as a draft until it is ready to send.
  • Make follow-up easier with concise job and project details.

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 Daily CircleCI Failure Brief.
  • 3Tell Notis to review recent CircleCI build results and draft a Gmail summary of failed projects, jobs, and useful next steps.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule, select where run reports should go, and test with one real example.

Questions about this workflow

Does this send the brief automatically?

No. It creates a Gmail draft for you to review and send.

What if there were no failures?

Tell Notis in the instruction to report that there were no recent failures, or to skip creating a draft.
