Escalate failed GitHub Actions runs by voice

A failed workflow should reach the person who can decide what happens next, even when nobody is watching the Actions page.

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

Make a phone call from agent

Initiate calls

Why this helps

Build failures can be overlooked between notifications, delaying investigation and release decisions.

  • Bring failed runs to a designated lead promptly.
  • Cut down on repeated manual checks of Actions.
  • Pass along workflow run context when available.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Bolna once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to call your designated release lead with the workflow run details when its conclusion is failure.
  • 4Pick the GitHub Workflow Run State Changed trigger for the run you want to monitor and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real failed run and confirm the call is actionable.

Questions about this workflow

Will this call for successful workflow runs too?

The event tracks multiple state and conclusion changes. Tell Notis to call only when the run concludes with failure.

Can I monitor runs for a specific branch?

The trigger supports configuring a specific workflow run. Use the run you want to monitor when selecting the trigger.
