Notis

Turn the incident's build log into a concise digest

Send the build and job identifiers with an incident request and get the relevant log output summarized.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Download Build Log

Download the log for a specific build job, whether running or complete.

Why this helps

Long build logs consume attention when the team needs to understand a campaign-related issue quickly.

  • Retrieve the log for the specific job referenced by the incident.
  • Surface relevant returned errors and notable output in a short digest.
  • Keep the report connected to the incident request.

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 log for the Appveyor build and job in each incident request and summarize relevant errors or clues.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real incident request containing its build and job identifiers.

Questions about this workflow

Can the digest identify the root cause with certainty?

No. It can summarize log output and point to clues, but the returned log may not establish a root cause.

Does it change or rerun the build?

No. It only retrieves and summarizes the specified job log.
