Ask privately for a CircleCI pipeline snapshot

Get a project run snapshot in a direct conversation when you need context before sharing an update with the team.

Trigger

Direct Message Received

Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.

Action

List Pipelines for Project

Tool to list all pipelines for a specific project. use when you need to retrieve the pipelines for a project (e.g., to display recent runs on a dashboard).

Why this helps

A quick private status check can otherwise require navigating multiple channels and a separate dashboard.

  • Keep personal status checks private until you are ready to share.
  • Retrieve recent project pipelines from a direct request.
  • Prepare for a team update with less tool switching.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and CircleCI to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to retrieve recent pipelines for the project named in a DM.
  • 3Pick the Slack direct message trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
  • 4Test by asking for a snapshot for a real CircleCI project in a DM.

Questions about this workflow

Can it use a project name from the DM?

Include an unambiguous CircleCI project reference in the request so Notis can identify which pipelines to retrieve.

Will the results be posted in a public channel?

Choose the channel for run reports during setup and consider where the private request should be reported.
