Make failed builds easier to debug
When CI fails, get the evidence into one usable file before the details disappear from your working memory.
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
Async Convert
Tool to perform an asynchronous file conversion. use when converting large or long-running files to avoid client timeouts.
Why this helps
Debugging stalls when logs and run context are spread across GitHub screens.
- Captures failure context at the right moment
- Creates a portable handoff for technical help
- Reduces repeated searching through workflow history
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Convertapi once through Notis.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis for it in a message.
- 3Tell Notis to convert each failed or completed workflow run into a debugging file.
- 4Choose the workflow run state trigger, select a report channel, and test with one failed run.
Questions about this workflow
What event starts the conversion?
A GitHub workflow run status or conclusion change starts it.
Is this useful for outsourced debugging?
Yes, the resulting file can give a contractor the relevant context in one handoff.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Convertapi. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Convertapi actions
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.
Async Convert
Tool to perform an asynchronous file conversion. use when converting large or long-running files to avoid client timeouts.
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.
Delete Async Job
Tool to delete a previously created asynchronous conversion job. use when the job is no longer required to free server resources.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete Uploaded File
Tool to delete a previously uploaded file. use when the file is no longer needed and should be removed from temporary storage.
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.
Get Supported Input Formats For Output
Tool to list all input formats that can convert to a specified output format. use after deciding the target output format.
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.
Convert PDF to DOCX
Tool to convert pdf files to docx format. use when you need editable word documents from pdfs. provide pdf content or url and receive docx file metadata and download links.
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.
Convert PDF to JPG and Store
Tool to convert a pdf to jpg and store the result on the server. use when individual jpg pages are needed for further workflow steps.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Upload File From URL
Tool to upload a file directly from a remote url. use when you need to import files hosted on a remote server without downloading locally.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Upload File (Multipart)
Tool to upload a file via multipart/form-data. use when you need to store a file on convertapi's servers (up to 3 hours) and obtain a fileid for subsequent conversions.
