Action

Why this helps
CI failures create uncertainty when they are discovered late or passed around without a clear owner.
- Surface failed runs as soon as GitHub records them.
- Include the workflow, branch, commit, conclusion, and run link.
- Reduce repeated status questions in chat.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2In Automations -> New Automation, or in a conversation with Notis, create the workflow.
- 3Use one instruction: Announce failed GitHub Actions workflow runs in the selected Google Classroom course with the workflow name, branch, commit, failure conclusion, and link.
- 4Choose the workflow run state trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test using a safe branch with an intentionally failing check.
Questions about this workflow
Can this be limited to one branch?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger for the branch you want monitored and keep the announcement instruction focused.
What happens for successful runs?
This workflow is intended for failed runs. A separate workflow can announce successful releases or deployments.
