Know what a failed workflow means right away
Receive a short computational explanation when CI changes state, so you can decide whether to fix, retry, or defer.
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
Short Answers Result
Tool to fetch a concise textual answer from Wolfram|Alpha. Use when you need a short, direct response.
Why this helps
You notice a failing workflow between meetings and lose momentum deciphering logs and unfamiliar errors.
- Reduce context switching during incident triage
- Get consistent first-pass explanations
- Decide faster whether a failure is blocking
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Wolfram alpha api in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by chat.
- 3Use this instruction: For each GitHub workflow run state change, use Wolfram Alpha to give a concise explanation of the status or conclusion and suggest whether it looks blocking.
- 4Choose GitHub Workflow Run State Changed and a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one completed workflow run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run only on failures?
Yes. Ask Notis to report only when the conclusion is failure, error, or timed_out.
Will it replace GitHub logs?
No. It adds a fast interpretation layer and can point you back to the run.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Wolfram alpha api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Wolfram alpha api 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.
Async Pod Fetch
Fetch a single asynchronous pod from Wolfram|Alpha Full Results API. Use this tool to retrieve individual pod computations that were marked as async in a Full Results query. When you query the Full Results API with async=true, pods that take longer to compute return async URLs containing 'id' and 's' tokens. Use those tokens with this tool to fetch the computed pod content. Typical workflow: (1) Query Full Results API with async=true parameter, (2) Parse response for async pod URLs, (3) Extract id and s tokens from URLs like 'asyncPod.jsp?id=MSPa...&s=13', (4) Use this tool with those tokens.
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.
Establish Wolfram|Alpha Connection
Tool to store Wolfram|Alpha AppID into the connection credential store. Use when establishing or updating your AppID so that subsequent actions automatically include this credential.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Extract Recalculate URL & Tokens
Tool to extract the recalculate URL and id/s tokens from full Wolfram|Alpha results. Use when you need to follow up with recalc.jsp or relatedQueries.jsp calls.
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.
Full Results Recalculate
Recalculate a prior WolframAlpha Full Results query to retrieve additional computational results (pods). Use this action when: - A previous Full Results API query timed out or returned incomplete results - You have a recalculate URL or ID token from a previous query - You need to fetch more computational pods from the same query The action requires the 'id' token (obtained from EXTRACT_RECALC_URL_TOKENS or from a Full Results response). The 's' parameter is optional and often not needed. Returns raw XML containing the recalculated query results, which may include additional pods or error information.
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.
Full Results Related Queries
Tool to fetch related query suggestions for a previous Full Results computation. Use after obtaining `id` and `s` from a Full Results API response.
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.
Get Wolfram|Alpha AppID
Tool to fetch the Wolfram|Alpha AppID from credentials. Use when you need to verify the current AppID before making API calls.
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.
Query LLM API
Tool to query Wolfram|Alpha LLM API for computed knowledge optimized for large language model consumption. Returns plain text results with query interpretations, computed data, and image URLs. Use when you need comprehensive computational knowledge formatted for AI agent processing.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Query Summary Box
Tool to query the Summary Boxes API for pre-generated XHTML boxes summarizing Wolfram|Alpha knowledge. Use when you need formatted summary information for subjects like countries, chemicals, dates, or people. Requires a valid summary box path from Query Recognizer API.
