Find the blocked step faster
When a job stalls or fails, get a focused explanation of what to inspect next.
Trigger
Workflow Job State Changed
Triggers when the status, conclusion, timestamps, runner assignment, or step details of a specific GitHub Actions workflow job change between polls. The payload includes the full current job state, a list of which fields changed, and the previous status/conclusion values for easy comparison.
Action
Complete Conversation
Tool to send a message to a conversation and receive the bot’s reply. use after retrieving or initiating a conversation id.
Why this helps
Job-level failures can be buried inside a larger workflow, making the actual blocker hard to locate.
- Narrows attention to the affected job
- Highlights changed steps and conclusions
- Reduces time spent searching workflow logs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Chatbotkit to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When a monitored GitHub Actions workflow job changes state or conclusion, ask Chatbotkit to identify the blocker, affected step, and most useful next diagnostic.
- 4Choose the Workflow Job State Changed trigger, select a run-report channel, and test with one job transition.
