Make CircleCI failed jobs easier to triage
Give a failed job a useful triage note, so the next person can see the reported symptoms and continue investigating.
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
A failed job often arrives as an alert without enough organized context for the next person to act quickly.
- Put symptoms and investigation steps together
- Reduce repeated context gathering
- Make unresolved failures easier to hand off
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 triage note for the failed job using the webhook details and list useful next investigation steps.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failed-job webhook.
Questions about this workflow
Will the note contain full job logs?
Only if the logs or relevant excerpts are provided to Notis in the webhook details.
Can Notis resolve the failure automatically?
This workflow creates a triage note. It does not change CircleCI jobs or fix code.
