Share CircleCI failure logs in Telegram
Put an available CircleCI diagnostic file in the team chat where investigation can begin.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Document
Send general files (documents) to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
A failure notice without its supporting log adds another round of tab switching and requests for context.
- Bring an available diagnostic document into the conversation quickly.
- Reduce the back and forth needed to locate failure context.
- Make it easier for teammates to begin reviewing a failed run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect CircleCI and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis by name, prompt, report channel, and trigger.
- 3Tell Notis to send an available CircleCI failure log or diagnostic file to Telegram with a brief explanation.
- 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failed-run example and confirm a file is available to share.
Questions about this workflow
Will this retrieve logs that CircleCI does not provide to the automation?
No. The document action can only send a file that is available to Notis for that run.
Can the automation send a short explanation with the file?
Ask Notis to provide a brief explanation in the document caption or accompanying message when supported by the available data.
What starts the workflow?
A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request is received. CircleCI has no listed trigger event in this package.
