Turn failed builds into visible next steps
A failed workflow becomes a short Dropbox incident note with the details you need to act.
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 paper document
Creates a new dropbox paper document at the specified path using html or markdown content.
Why this helps
Build failures are easy to notice and surprisingly easy to forget.
- Creates a durable failure record
- Keeps remediation visible during context switches
- Supports calmer triage after interruptions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to create a Dropbox incident note for failed workflow runs.
- 3Select the GitHub Workflow Run State Changed trigger and choose the run-report channel.
- 4Trigger one failed test workflow and confirm the incident note.
Questions about this workflow
Can it focus on failures only?
Yes. Include the condition that the workflow run conclusion must be failure, error, or another failure state.
What can the note include?
It can include the workflow name, branch, commit, conclusion, timestamps, and GitHub run link.
