Turn critical GitHub Actions failures into owned incidents
Notis detects a bad workflow conclusion and creates an incident with the run, branch, and conclusion summarized for a fast handoff.
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 Incident V2
Tool to create a new incident in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to report and track an operational issue or outage. Requires at minimum an idempotency_key and visibility setting. Optionally specify severity, incident type, custom fields, role assignments, and other attributes.
Why this helps
A broken release, backup, or migration workflow can be lost among routine CI notifications with no one clearly coordinating recovery.
- Separates operational failures from ordinary CI noise
- Gives responders a direct run reference
- Creates ownership without another manual form
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub and incident.io accounts to Notis once.
- 2Describe which critical workflow should create an incident when it fails, times out, or is unexpectedly cancelled.
- 3Pick GitHub Workflow Run State Changed as the trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 4Run a controlled failing workflow and inspect the incident Notis creates.
Questions about this workflow
Can I watch only a release workflow?
Yes. Name the workflow and relevant branch in the prompt so routine CI runs do not create incidents.
Does a successful run open an incident?
No, when the instruction limits action to failure, timeout, or another explicitly unwanted conclusion.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to incident.io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
incident.io 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 Alert Attribute V2
Tool to create an alert attribute in incident.io. Use when you need to define structured data fields that can be parsed from alerts coming in via alert sources. Alert attributes allow you to extract and organize information from incoming alerts.
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 Alert Route V2
Tool to create an alert route in incident.io. Use when you need to configure how alerts should be processed, routed, and potentially converted into incidents based on conditions, grouping rules, and templates.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Alert Source V2
Tool to create a new alert source in incident.io. Use when you need to set up a new integration for receiving alerts from external systems via HTTP webhooks or manual entry.
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.
Create Catalog Entry V2
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
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.
Create Catalog Entry V3
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io using the V3 API. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
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.
Create Catalog Type V3
Tool to create a new catalog type in incident.io V3 API. Use when you need to define custom resource types for your organization's catalog, such as teams, services, or infrastructure components.
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.
Create Custom Field Option
Tool to create a new custom field option in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new selectable value to an existing custom field.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Custom Field V2
Tool to create a custom field in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to add a new custom field to track additional information during incidents.
