Give actionable CircleCI pipeline failures a Linear home
Review the failures that need work and capture each distinct problem in Linear.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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
A pile of failed pipeline runs can make it hard to see which problems deserve a dedicated investigation.
- Separate actionable problems from a noisy run list.
- Create a trackable issue for each distinct failure.
- Include run links and available error details for investigation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Linear once in Notis.
- 2Create a named automation with one instruction describing the pipeline review.
- 3Ask Notis to review available failed pipeline data, group duplicate symptoms where evidence supports it, and create issues for distinct actionable problems.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real set of failed runs and inspect the issue grouping.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis group similar failures?
It can compare the failure information that CircleCI provides. The grouping will be limited by the detail available in those runs.
Will this create issues for every failed run?
The instruction can ask Notis to create issues only for distinct actionable problems, based on the evidence returned.
