List Render environments from an incoming webhook
Deploying to the wrong environment is a mistake you make once and remember forever. Notis lets any tool trigger it with a webhook and lists the Render environments in your project, so you always have the current lineup in front of you before a deploy step runs.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Environments
Tool to list environments for a project. Use when you need to retrieve environments within a specific project. Requires at least one project ID.
Why this helps
Your deploy scripts assume a set of environments that may have quietly changed, and you have no quick way to confirm what actually exists in Render right now. So you deploy on assumptions and occasionally hit the wrong target.
- See the current Render environments the instant a tool calls the webhook.
- Confirm your deploy target exists before a script assumes it.
- Let any part of your pipeline pull the environment lineup on demand.
- Avoid the once-in-a-lifetime mistake of deploying to the wrong place.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Render to Notis once from the portal.
- 2Ask Notis for your portal link and open Automations, then New Automation.
- 3Write it plainly: when my webhook fires, list the environments in my Render project and send them to me.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook as the trigger and set your reporting channel.
- 5Send a test request to the webhook and confirm the environment list arrives.
Questions about this workflow
What can trigger the webhook?
Any tool that can send an HTTP request, such as your CI pipeline, a deploy script, or another automation.
Which project's environments are listed?
The Render project you describe in the instruction. Notis lists the environments within it for you.
Do I need to know project IDs?
No. You describe the project in words when you set up the automation and Notis resolves it.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Render. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Render 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.
Add Header Rule
Tool to add a custom HTTP header rule to a Render service. Use when you need to configure headers like Cache-Control, security headers, or CORS headers for specific request paths.
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.
Add or Update Secret File
Tool to add or update a secret file for a Render service. Use when you need to create a new secret file or update the content of an existing secret file.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Add Resources to Environment
Tool to add resources to a Render environment. Use when you need to associate services, databases, Redis instances, or environment groups with an existing environment.
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.
Add Route
Tool to add redirect or rewrite rules to a Render service. Use when you need to configure URL routing, redirects, or rewrites for a service. Redirect rules send HTTP redirects to clients, while rewrite rules modify the request path internally.
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 Custom Domain
Tool to add a custom domain to a Render service. Use when you need to configure a custom domain for a service.
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 Environment Group
Tool to create a new environment group. Use when you need to create a shared collection of environment variables and secret files that can be used across multiple services.
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 Environment
Tool to create a new environment within a Render project. Use when you need to set up a new environment for organizing services, databases, and other resources.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Postgres Instance
Tool to create a new Postgres instance on Render. Use when you need to provision a new PostgreSQL database with configurable plan, version, and region.
