Track GitHub Actions failure work
A failed build creates a clear time record for the recovery work that follows.
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 Time Entry
Tool to create a new time entry in the specified workspace. use when you have workspace id, start time, and client name ready.
Why this helps
Build failures demand urgent context switching, and the debugging effort is rarely recorded accurately afterward.
- Capture unexpected debugging work
- Understand the cost of flaky pipelines
- Create a useful record for retrospectives
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Toggl to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Toggl time entry when a GitHub Actions workflow run reaches a failure conclusion and describe the entry context.
- 4Select the workflow-run-state trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one failed or safely simulated run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this focus on one workflow?
Yes. Include the workflow or repository context in the instruction to Notis.
What does the Toggl entry represent?
It represents the investigation and recovery block initiated by the failure.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Toggl. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Toggl actions

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 Tag
Tool to create a new tag in a workspace. use when you need to add a tag after confirming workspace id and desired tag name.
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 Time Entry
Tool to create a new time entry in the specified workspace. use when you have workspace id, start time, and client name ready.
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.
Delete Toggl Client
Tool to delete a client in toggl. use when you have confirmed the workspace and client ids and want to remove a client permanently.
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.
Delete Tag
Tool to delete a tag from a workspace. use when you need to remove an unused tag after confirming its workspace and tag ids.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Get Client Details
Tool to retrieve details of a specific client. use when you need to fetch client metadata by its id from toggl.
