Turn a Red GitHub Actions Run Into the Next Best Debugging Step
When a workflow finishes badly, DeepSeek summarizes the failure context, ranks likely causes, and recommends the smallest useful checks first.
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 Chat Completion
Tool to create a chat completion using DeepSeek models (deepseek-chat or deepseek-reasoner). Use when you need to generate AI responses to chat conversations. Supports streaming, tool/function calling, and various parameters to control generation behavior (temperature, max_tokens, etc.).
Why this helps
A failed CI run can pull attention into noisy logs and speculative fixes before the actual failure pattern is understood.
- Begin with ranked hypotheses instead of raw noise
- Distinguish flaky infrastructure from likely code regressions
- Make handoffs easier with a shared diagnostic summary
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub and DeepSeek accounts to Notis.
- 2In Automations, create a workflow for GitHub Actions run state changes.
- 3Tell Notis to use DeepSeek on unsuccessful conclusions and return the failure summary, likely causes, and next three checks, then choose GitHub Workflow Run State Changed.
- 4Pick a developer notification channel and test against a real failed run.
Questions about this workflow
Will it run on successful workflows too?
The trigger sees state transitions, but your plain-language prompt can tell Notis to produce a diagnosis only for failure, error, cancellation, or timeout outcomes.
Can it identify flaky tests?
DeepSeek can flag patterns consistent with flakiness when the available run context supports that conclusion, while clearly marking uncertainty.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to DeepSeek. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
DeepSeek 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.
Create Anthropic Message
Tool to create a model response using DeepSeek's Anthropic-compatible API format with support for system prompts, tool calling, streaming, and thinking mode. Use when you need to generate chat completions using the Anthropic Messages API format. Requires base_url='https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic' or metadata base_url ending with '/anthropic'. Supports extended thinking, function calling with tools, and streaming responses. Note: Images and documents are not supported in content blocks.
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.
Create Chat Completion

New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get User Balance
Tool to get user's current account balance including granted and topped-up balances with detailed breakdown by currency (CNY or USD). Use when you need to check if the user has sufficient balance for API calls or to view detailed balance information.
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.
List Models
Tool to list currently available DeepSeek models and provides basic information about each one such as the owner and availability. Use when you need to discover which models are available for API calls.
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.
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.
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.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
