Notis

Add cloud context to failed workflow runs

When a workflow run fails, let Notis retrieve the current droplet list and place the run outcome and infrastructure context together.

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

List All Droplets

Tool to list all droplets in your account. use when you need an overview of droplets, optionally filtered by tag. use after authentication.

Why this helps

A failed run can leave you comparing logs and server consoles before you know where to start.

  • Gather server inventory when a run changes state
  • Review GitHub run outcome and droplets together
  • Make the next troubleshooting step easier to spot

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and DigitalOcean once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation telling Notis to retrieve droplet inventory when a workflow run concludes and summarize it with the run details.
  • 3Pick GitHub's Workflow Run State Changed trigger.
  • 4Choose where run reports go, then test with one real workflow run.

Questions about this workflow

Can this trigger only on failed runs?

The listed trigger fires when a workflow run changes status or conclusion. Ask Notis to focus its response on unsuccessful conclusions, but it may run for other transitions too.

Does this workflow restart a server or rerun Actions?

No. It retrieves droplet information and summarizes the workflow run; it does not restart resources or rerun GitHub Actions.
