Get useful context when a deployment fails
Reduce frantic tab-switching by checking whether the failure connects to a wider incident.
Trigger
New Deployment Status Created
Triggers when a new deployment status is created for a specific deployment. Fires an event for each newly created deployment status on the monitored deployment. Deployment statuses represent state transitions such as pending, in_progress, success, failure, error, inactive, and queued. The payload includes the status state, creator, environment, description, timestamps, and relevant URLs.
Action
Get News Articles
Tool to retrieve a list of news articles based on filters. Use when keywords, sources, or date ranges are specified.
Why this helps
A failed deployment creates urgent uncertainty and encourages scattered searching.
- Check for relevant external incidents
- Shorten initial investigation
- Keep failure reports focused
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Perigon to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a deployment status becomes failure or error, search Perigon for recent coverage about the deployment provider, affected services, dependencies, and related incidents, then summarize likely external context.”
- 4Pick the deployment status trigger, choose the reporting channel, and test with one failed deployment status.
Questions about this workflow
Does this diagnose the code?
No. It checks external news and incident context to complement technical debugging.
Can it report only failures?
Yes. State the failure or error condition in the plain-language automation instruction.

Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Get Stories
Tool to retrieve clusters of related articles covering the same event or topic with aggregate metrics. Use when you need to fetch filtered and sorted story clusters after configuring query parameters.
