Travis CI + Memtro

Why did the last build on main fail on Travis CI, and which job broke?

Travis CI connects Memtro to your builds. It reads builds with state, branch or tag, short commit, pull request, trigger and duration, and a build's jobs and stages. It reads why a push did or did not build, branches with their last build, crons and which repositories are active. When asked and granted, it can trigger, restart or cancel builds and jobs, manage branch crons, and activate or deactivate a repository. Travis CI can tell Memtro as a build passes, breaks or errors, and a job can start on it. Build logs, commit authors and commit messages are never read.

In Memtro

What you can do with Travis CI in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Travis CI tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Builds, newest first, with state, trigger, branch or tag, short commit, pull request and duration.
  2. 02One build's jobs with state, stage, queue and timings, and build requests with why each push did or did not build.
  3. 03Repositories and whether Travis is active on them, branches with their last build, and cron schedules with their next run.
  4. 04When asked and granted, triggers, restarts or cancels builds and jobs. Triggers and restarts spend credits, may run deploy steps and send the build's usual notifications.
  5. 05When asked and granted, adds or deletes a daily, weekly or monthly cron on a branch, and activates or deactivates a repository.
  6. 06With events on, a build that passed, broke or errored in Travis CI can start a job.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Travis CI. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Trigger a build of a repository's branch, optionally at a commit or with config overrides (spends credits)
  2. 02Restart a finished or canceled build (spends credits)
  3. 03Cancel a running build
  4. 04Restart a job (spends credits)
  5. 05Cancel a running job
  6. 06Add a daily, weekly or monthly cron build on a branch
  7. 07Delete a cron
  8. 08Activate a repository on Travis CI
  9. 09Deactivate a repository on Travis CI

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Travis CI, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Travis CI's own steps. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. Travis CI signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

Events and webhooks
  • 01A build was requested or started
  • 02A build passed
  • 03A build passed after a failure
  • 04A build failed after passing
  • 05A build failed (first build of a branch)
  • 06A build failed again
  • 07A build was canceled
  • 08A build errored
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Travis CI is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Travis CI + Memtro
  • Which builds failed on main this week?

  • Which job broke in the last build of the api repository?

  • Why did yesterday's push to the release branch not build?

  • When does the cron on main run next?

  • Restart the last failed build on main.

01

A push that never built

Maya Okafor, engineering lead at Acme Ltd, asked why her push to the release branch produced no build. Memtro read the repository's build requests and found it rejected, with the reason Travis gave. She fixed the condition in .travis.yml and the next push built.

02

A broken build starts a job

BigCo set a job to start when a Travis CI build broke. When one arrived, Memtro read the build and its jobs and named the failing job and its stage. Tom Reilly, the on-call engineer, read the summary and asked Memtro to restart that job, which it did with the action granted to his team.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Travis CI most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Travis CI is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Engineering and operations

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withAPI token
  1. 1

    On travis-ci.com, open your profile, then Settings, then API authentication, and copy the token. Pull access reads, cancels and restarts, and push access triggers builds and manages crons.

  2. 2

    In Memtro, open Connections → Travis CI and paste the API token. Fill in Enterprise host only for Travis CI Enterprise, with no https:// or path.

  3. 3

    An administrator grants the build, cron and repository actions by name to the teams that may use them. Activating a repository needs admin access to it.

  4. 4

    Ask why the last build on main failed. Events are turned on from the connection's Events tab, and the address is then added to each repository's .travis.yml.

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Travis CI tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Travis CI?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: trigger a build of a repository's branch, optionally at a commit or with config overrides (spends credits); restart a finished or canceled build (spends credits); cancel a running build; restart a job (spends credits); cancel a running job; add a daily, weekly or monthly cron build on a branch; delete a cron; activate a repository on Travis CI; deactivate a repository on Travis CI. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Travis CI connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Travis CI data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Travis CI?+

API token. On travis-ci.com, open your profile, then Settings, then API authentication, and copy the token. Pull access reads, cancels and restarts, and push access triggers builds and manages crons.

Can Travis CI start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, then add the address it shows as a webhook in Travis CI, choosing the same kinds; the tab shows Travis CI's own steps. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
