Make failed automation runs easier to triage
When automation fails, a quick alerting check helps separate code problems from notification problems.
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
Retrieve Webhook Settings
Tool to retrieve webhook settings. use when you need to view the currently configured cert spotter webhook.
Why this helps
Failure triage expands quickly when it is unclear whether the issue is the workflow, the monitoring configuration, or both.
- Adds alerting context to failure triage
- Reduces diagnostic branching
- Helps protect against silent notifications
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Sslmate cert spotter api to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When the GitHub workflow run reaches a failure, error, or timed-out conclusion, retrieve CertSpotter webhook settings and report them with a concise triage note.
- 4Select the workflow run state changed trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one real failed run.
Questions about this workflow
Can it run only on failures?
Use the workflow instruction to act only when the changed conclusion indicates failure, error, or timeout.
Does it diagnose the GitHub failure?
It adds CertSpotter webhook context to help triage; it does not replace GitHub failure analysis.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Sslmate cert spotter api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Sslmate cert spotter api actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get CertSpotter Event
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific certspotter event. use when you need to inspect event metadata after confirming an event id.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List Monitored Domains
Tool to list all monitored domains. use when you need to audit or review the domains currently monitored by cert spotter.
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.
Retrieve Webhook Settings
Tool to retrieve webhook settings. use when you need to view the currently configured cert spotter webhook.
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.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
