Keep the branch build badge current in release notes
Schedule a badge refresh for a project branch and use the returned image in the release documentation process.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Project Branch Status Badge
Retrieve a PNG or SVG badge showing a project branch’s build status.
Why this helps
Release notes can display stale build status when badges are refreshed only by hand.
- Retrieve a branch-specific status badge on a schedule.
- Support a repeatable release note refresh routine.
- Reduce manual badge lookups during documentation work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and AppVeyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe which branch badge should be retrieved for documentation.
- 3Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one run and confirm the badge corresponds to the intended project branch.
Questions about this workflow
Does this image show the status of any branch automatically?
The AppVeyor action is for a specific project branch, so the relevant project and branch must be known to the automation.
Does this update an ActiveMerge document directly?
The available action retrieves a badge image. The report can identify it for the documentation workflow, but no ActiveMerge write action is listed.
