Why this helps
A failed build log can be buried behind a separate dashboard just when the launch team needs an explanation.
- Collect the relevant job log from a single handoff request.
- Get a concise summary of the returned log output.
- Make missing build or job identifiers visible.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveTrail and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: retrieve the Appveyor log for the build and job identifiers in each handoff and summarize errors or notable output.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real handoff that includes a build ID and job ID.
Questions about this workflow
Can it retrieve a log without a job identifier?
The action retrieves a log for a specific job. Include the needed build and job details in the webhook request.
Will the workflow retry or repair a failed build?
No. It retrieves and summarizes log output; it does not rerun or modify builds.
