Build a recovery ritual for failed runs
When something breaks, keep the team focused on repair while appreciation stays in the system.
Trigger
GitHub Workflow Run State Changed
Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).
Action
Preview Postcard
Tool to preview a postcard send. use when you need front and back images before placing an order.
Why this helps
Failures create urgency, and the person who resolves them rarely receives follow-up recognition.
- Creates a recovery checkpoint
- Keeps recognition from disappearing in incident mode
- Lets founders approve the message first
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Thanks io to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by chat.
- 3Tell Notis to generate a Thanks io postcard preview when a workflow run concludes unsuccessfully, addressed to the person who resolves or owns the failure when identifiable.
- 4Choose the workflow-run state trigger, select the reporting channel, and test with one failed run.
