Add a browser inspection to a failed check
When a check run changes, gather a browser view that can help focus the next investigation step.
Trigger
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Action
Execute Custom Function
A tool that allows executing custom puppeteer scripts via http requests. this endpoint enables users to run browser automation tasks without managing their own infrastructure.
Why this helps
A failed check says something went wrong, but it may not show what a user sees in the affected experience.
- Pair check run changes with a browser observation.
- Help developers start from a concrete page state.
- Keep investigation output connected to the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Browserless once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect the relevant site when a monitored check run completes unsuccessfully and summarize what it observes.
- 4Pick the Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real completed failure and a relevant URL.
Questions about this workflow
Can it determine which site corresponds to the check?
Only when that relationship or URL is available in the event context or supplied by your instruction.
Does the browser result explain the code failure?
It adds page observations for investigation, but it cannot guarantee a root cause for a failed check.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Browserless. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Browserless actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Download file using Puppeteer script
This tool allows downloading files that chrome has downloaded during the execution of puppeteer code. it sets up a blank page, creates a fresh download directory, injects the provided code, and executes it. once the script finishes, any downloaded files from chromium are returned with the appropriate content-type header.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Execute Custom Function
A tool that allows executing custom puppeteer scripts via http requests. this endpoint enables users to run browser automation tasks without managing their own infrastructure.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Fetch HTML Content
This tool fetches the complete html content of a webpage using browserless's content api. it's designed to retrieve the full html contents of any website, including dynamically generated content.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Generate PDF from webpage
This tool generates a pdf from a specified webpage using browserless's pdf generation api. it allows specifying the url of the webpage along with parameters such as format, filename, and waituntil options to control the pdf generation process.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Scrape webpage content using CSS selectors
A tool to extract structured content from a webpage by specifying css selectors. the tool navigates to the specified url, waits for the page to load (including parsing and executing javascript), and returns the selected elements in a structured json format.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Take Screenshot
A tool that captures a screenshot of a webpage using browserless's screenshot api. the tool takes a url and returns either a png or jpeg image. it includes options for full page capture, image type, quality, and clipping coordinates.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Unblock Protected Content
This tool provides access to content from websites that implement bot protection mechanisms. it is designed to bypass various types of protection (such as captcha and bot detections) and return the html content of the protected webpage, with optional customization through parameters like waitfor, timeout, and stealth mode.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
