Handle a specific build cleanup request
Send an explicit build ID in the cleanup request and get the deletion result in a run report.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Build
Delete a build by its ID.
Why this helps
A stale build can remain in the way when teams have no clear, tracked path for a specific cleanup request.
- Tie a deletion request to an explicit build ID.
- Report the API outcome, including successful no-content responses.
- Avoid guessing which build should be removed.
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: delete only the Appveyor build ID explicitly included in an authorized cleanup request and report the result.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real, approved cleanup request for a build that is safe to remove.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow decide which build is obsolete?
No. The request must identify the build ID and state that deletion is authorized.
What does a successful deletion return?
The action's API returns 204 No Content on successful deletion, which Notis can report as the outcome.
