Notis

Bring the relevant build log into an alert

A webhook can carry the AppVeyor build and job details Notis needs to retrieve a log and summarize what it says.

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

Finding the right job log during a device issue adds more context switching when you need a clear next step.

  • Retrieve a log for the build job referenced by the alert.
  • Turn lengthy log output into a concise summary.
  • Keep troubleshooting context close to the incoming alert.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and AppVeyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis from any channel.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve and summarize the AppVeyor job log using the build and job details supplied with the alert.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real example webhook with valid build and job details, then review the summary.

Questions about this workflow

What must the webhook include?

It should provide the identifiers needed to retrieve the specific AppVeyor build job log. Those values must come from your monitoring service or backend.

Does the workflow change the build?

No. It downloads and summarizes a log; it does not modify or rerun a build.
