Keep a record of how CircleCI build failures were resolved
Capture what failed, what restored the build, and what remains to do while the details are still available.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create a File from Text
Creates a new file in google drive from provided text content (up to 10mb), supporting various formats including automatic conversion to google workspace types.
Why this helps
Once a build is green again, teams often lose the context that could help prevent the same failure later.
- Preserve resolution context after recovery
- Make repeat incidents easier to compare
- Track follow-up from reported information
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or ask Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: create a Drive document summarizing the reported build failure, recovery action, and outstanding follow-up.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recovery webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Can this determine why the build recovered?
It can record details provided in the webhook. If the cause or recovery action is not included, the document cannot infer it reliably.
Can it compare past incidents?
Only when prior incident summaries are available to Notis or supplied for comparison.
