Turn CircleCI build failures into actionable Linear issues
Capture a failed build in Linear with the context your team needs to investigate it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Build failures can get buried in notifications, leaving someone to recreate the details and remember to file a ticket.
- Keep build failure details with the follow-up work.
- Reduce manual issue filing and context switching.
- Give the team a clear place to track investigation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Linear issue from each received CircleCI failure notification, including the run link and available error details.
- 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Send one real CircleCI failure notification to the webhook and review the resulting issue.
Questions about this workflow
Does this start automatically when CircleCI fails?
It starts when a CircleCI notification is sent to the Notis webhook. Configure CircleCI to send the relevant notification to that webhook.
What details can the issue include?
Notis can use details present in the received notification, such as the build link and error text. Any missing context must be supplied separately.
