Turn Appveyor build failures into Asana follow-up tasks
Capture the failure while the build context is still fresh, then keep the fix visible in Asana.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create task in asana with specific details
Creates a new asana task; requires 'workspace', 'parent', or 'projects' for association, and 'followers', 'projects', 'tags' are set only at creation.
Why this helps
Build failures can get lost in chat or logs, leaving the team to rediscover the error and decide who should follow up.
- Keep the failure and its follow-up in one place.
- Reduce manual copying from build notifications.
- Make the next action easier to track.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Asana once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create an Asana task from each Appveyor failure notification, including the available build details and logs.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real failure notification and review the resulting task.
Questions about this workflow
Does Appveyor provide a Notis trigger event for build failures?
No Appveyor trigger event is listed here. This workflow uses a Notis webhook, which starts when an HTTP request reaches it. Configure the sender to call that webhook with the failure information.
Can the task include build logs?
Ask Notis to include available logs and build details. The webhook request must contain those details or make them available to the connected Appveyor tools.
