Bring failed GitHub Actions runs into Basecamp
See the failure where planning happens, with the context needed to respond.
Trigger
GitHub Workflow Run State Changed
Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).
Action
Create Chatbot Line
Tool to post a message as a chatbot to a Basecamp Campfire. Use when you need to post messages via a chatbot integration without OAuth authentication.
Why this helps
A failed build can remain unnoticed until it blocks a release or surprises a customer.
- Shorten the time from failure to awareness.
- Keep technical incidents in the shared workspace.
- Reduce background monitoring.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Basecamp to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a GitHub Actions workflow run changes to failure or error, post a concise alert to Basecamp Campfire with the workflow, branch, conclusion, and run link.
- 4Select GitHub Workflow Run State Changed, choose the channel for run reports, and test with one failed run.
Questions about this workflow
Can it ignore successful runs?
Yes. State that only failure and error conclusions should create the Basecamp message.
Will it include a repair link?
It can include the workflow run URL so the next step is easy to reach.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Basecamp. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
