Why this helps

Deployment notes pile up when there is no quick way to compare them with the environments available to the team.

  • Summarize supplied deployment notes for review.
  • See the available environments alongside each summary.
  • Reduce repeated manual environment lookups.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abstract and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to process the supplied deployment notes through Abstract, retrieve Appveyor environments, and prepare a concise triage summary.
  • 4Choose the recurring schedule and where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real set of deployment notes.

Questions about this workflow

Does the workflow infer which environment is correct?

It can summarize the supplied notes against the returned environment list, but any selection criteria must be supplied in your instruction.

Where do the deployment notes come from?

Provide them as context to the workflow. Abstract exposes no trigger events here.
