Travis CI

Manage Travis CI repositories, trigger and control builds and jobs, inspect logs, and configure environment variables from your flows over the Travis CI REST API v3.

22 actions available

A pull request opens and a flow picks it up

Agent resolves the repository slug and the branch to build

Agent calls Trigger Build on the pull request branch

Agent polls Get Build until it reaches a terminal state

Agent posts the build state back onto the pull request as a comment

An engineer confirms before the agent deactivates a repository during cleanup

What This Integration Enables

FlowRunner agents use Travis CI to run CI from inside a larger flow. An agent can trigger builds on specific branches as part of a deploy or release automation, cancel, restart, or monitor builds and jobs in response to external events, and fetch raw job logs for failure analysis, alerting, or archival. It can manage repository environment variables across projects and activate or deactivate repositories to control which projects Travis CI builds. Repositories are addressed by their owner/name slug. What it does not do on its own is deactivate a repository, because that stops all builds for the project. That confirmation stays with a person.

Without FlowRunner

Manual CI triggers An engineer starts each build from the Travis dashboard

Logs hunted by hand Finding a failing job's log means clicking through the UI

Repos toggled loosely A repository is deactivated with no record of who decided to stop building it

With FlowRunner

Triggered builds The agent starts the build on the pull request branch automatically

Logs fetched for you The agent pulls the failing job log and attaches it to the alert

Confirmed deactivation Turning off a repository's builds waits for an engineer to confirm

Use Case Scenarios

CI on pull requests

A pull request opens. The agent calls Trigger Build on the PR branch to run CI, polls Get Build until it finishes, and posts the resulting state back onto the pull request as a comment. Contributors see the build result on the PR without an engineer starting the build by hand.

Failure into a tracked bug

The agent calls Get Job Log after a failed build and scans it for a recurring failure signature. When it finds one, it opens a tracked bug in the issue tracker with the log excerpt and the repository slug. A flaky or broken build becomes an assigned issue instead of a red mark that scrolls away.

Repository deactivation with a confirmation gate

A cleanup flow finds repositories that have not built in months. The agent lists them with their last build dates and posts them to the platform channel. It does not deactivate them. Only after an engineer confirms does the agent call Deactivate Repository, and it records which repositories it turned off and who approved.

Human-in-Loop Highlight

The human-in-loop moment in Travis CI is the deactivation gate. Triggering builds, restarting jobs, and fetching logs are all safe or reversible, so the agent runs them by rule. Deactivating a repository is different, because it stops Travis CI from building that project until someone turns it back on, and a silently un-built repository can hide a broken pipeline for weeks. When a cleanup flow flags stale repositories, the agent lists them with their last build dates and asks in the platform channel: "These four repositories have not built in 120 days. Confirm which to deactivate?" An engineer confirms. Only then does the agent call Deactivate Repository. The agent runs CI on its own. A person owns the switch that stops a project from building.
