Catch Build Failures Before They Impact Teams
When a GitHub workflow run fails, a Notion alert page is created instantly with the failure details, affected branch, and relevant logs for immediate investigation.
Trigger
New Workflow Run Created
Triggers when a new workflow run is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository for any new workflow runs and fires an event for each one. Optional filters allow narrowing to a specific branch, actor, or event type.
Action
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Why this helps
Workflow failures sit in GitHub Actions logs unnoticed, causing delays in discovering broken pipelines or failed deployments.
- Never miss a failed workflow with instant Notion alerts
- Quickly identify which branch or commit broke the build
- Assign failure investigation to team members automatically
- Build a historical log of pipeline issues for analysis
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Notion to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a workflow run fails, create a Notion alert page with the workflow name, branch, failure reason, and a link to logs.'
- 3Select the 'Workflow Run State Changed' trigger (filter for failures) and choose your notification channel.
- 4Trigger a test build failure and watch the alert page appear in Notion.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter to only specific workflows or branches?
Yes. Tell Notis to 'Only alert on failures in main branch' or 'Only track deployment workflow failures.'
Can I auto-assign someone to investigate each failure?
Yes. Notis can assign failures to on-call engineers or specific team members based on rules you define.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Notion. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Notion 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.
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
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.
Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
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.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
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 comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
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.
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
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.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
