Pair important GitHub workflows with product tests
Pipeline activity is useful. Product behavior is the outcome that matters.
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
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
Why this helps
A workflow can run successfully while application behavior remains unverified, leaving too much implicit in the release process.
- Adds product-level validation to automation events
- Reduces gaps between CI and user experience
- Creates a consistent release signal
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bugbug to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Instruct Notis: when a new GitHub Actions workflow run is created for the release workflow, run the matching Bugbug product test and report the result.
- 4Choose the new workflow run created trigger, select the run-report channel, and test with one real workflow run.
Questions about this workflow
Can this target one workflow?
Yes. Tell Notis to act only for the named release or deployment workflow.
Why add Bugbug if Actions already runs tests?
Bugbug can provide browser-level product validation that other workflow steps may not cover.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Bugbug. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Bugbug actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get test run details
Get detailed information about test runs from bugbug. this action retrieves test run details with optional filtering parameters.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List suites
List all available test suites in the bugbug platform. this tool makes a get request to the /suites/ endpoint and returns a list of available test suites with pagination support.
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.
List tests
Retrieves a list of all available tests in the bugbug account. this action provides access to all tests in the account with pagination support. it returns basic information about each test including its id, name, description, and timestamps.
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.
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
