Find indexed context for GitHub check run changes
Use Elasticsearch search to help investigate a changed check run without starting from a blank page.
Trigger
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a check run’s status or conclusion changes.
Action
Query Index
Searches an Elasticsearch index for documents.
Why this helps
A failed check can interrupt work while the team looks for earlier records that explain the same symptom.
- Search for related records around a changed check run.
- Reduce repeated investigation of familiar failures.
- Include potential context in the run report.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Elasticsearch once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Failed Check Run History Search.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to inspect the check run details, search Elasticsearch for related records, and summarize potential context without treating a match as proof of cause.
- 4Pick Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real check run change and verify the index has relevant build or incident records.
Questions about this workflow
Does it run the check again?
No. It responds to a GitHub check run change by querying Elasticsearch and reporting possible context.
Will a matching record identify the cause?
A match is only a lead for investigation. The result depends on the indexed data and should be reviewed.
