Notis

Start a release pipeline from a webhook

Send one approved release signal and let Notis start the build without a dashboard visit.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Trigger Pipeline

Tool to trigger a new pipeline for the specified project. use when you need to start a build on a branch or tag programmatically.

Why this helps

Release handoffs break when the approval signal and pipeline trigger live in separate tools.

  • Shorten approved release handoffs
  • Reduce manual triggering
  • Keep release signals actionable

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Coda and CircleCI in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Webhook Release Start.
  • 3Describe that Notis should trigger the CircleCI pipeline when an incoming webhook contains an approved release signal.
  • 4Pick the Notis webhook trigger and choose the report destination.
  • 5Test with one real approval payload.

Questions about this workflow

Does the webhook come from Coda?

It can come from a Coda connected process or another approved system that sends the release signal.

What if approval is unclear?

Tell Notis to report the ambiguity and avoid triggering the pipeline.
