Make CircleCI test results easier to review

Bring failure details and test timing into a calm, scheduled check-in.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Get Test Metadata

Tool to fetch test metadata for a specific job. use when you need detailed test results, run times, and failure messages after a job completes.

Why this helps

Test failures and slow runs take repeated digging through job output, making follow-up easy to postpone.

  • Surface failure messages without a manual job-by-job lookup.
  • Spot test runs that need investigation.
  • Put the review in a consistent reporting channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect CircleCI once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the test review.
  • 3Tell Notis which job to inspect and to summarize test failures, messages, and run times.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test on one completed job and confirm the metadata is useful.

Questions about this workflow

Does this work with any job?

The action needs a specific job. Identify the job or supply a reliable way to select it in your instruction.

Does it retrieve test metadata before a job completes?

Test metadata is for a specific job, typically after it has completed. Schedule the check accordingly.

ActionInstant

File Shared (Permissions Added)

Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
