Open a Zoho Desk ticket when a GitHub check run concludes as failed

A single failing check is easy to override and forget, right up until it blocks a release later. Notis watches a check run's status and conclusion and opens a Zoho Desk ticket when it fails, so recurring red checks become tracked work instead of background noise.

Trigger

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.

Action

Create Ticket

Tool to create a new Zoho Desk ticket with subject, description, department, and requester details. Use when you need to create a support ticket in Zoho Desk. Returns the created ticket with id and webUrl for downstream chaining.

Why this helps

One check keeps failing, you keep re-running it, and the underlying problem never gets a real task attached to it.

  • Persistent check failures get an owner and a ticket
  • You stop masking a real issue by re-running checks
  • The failure sits in the queue you review, not lost in logs
  • Each ticket carries the check context so debugging is faster

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Zoho Desk to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and write it plainly: when the monitored GitHub check run concludes as a failure, open a Zoho Desk ticket about it.
  • 3Pick the GitHub check run status change trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
  • 4Force one failing check and confirm the ticket appears in Zoho Desk.

Questions about this workflow

Can I ignore flaky checks that pass on retry?

Yes. Tell Notis to only file a ticket when the final conclusion is a failure, and transient states are ignored.

Which check runs does it watch?

It monitors the check run you point it at, so you can focus on the ones that matter most.

Do I configure this in code?

No. It is a single plain-language instruction to Notis, with no scripts to maintain.
