Turn a confusing build log into a focused support draft
When a build failure needs outside help, Notis can gather the relevant details into a draft so you can spend less time assembling context.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create email draft
Creates a gmail email draft, supporting to/cc/bcc, subject, plain/html body (ensure `is html=true` for html), attachments, and threading.
Why this helps
Explaining a failure often means copying details from several places before asking for help.
- Keep useful log excerpts with the support request.
- Make the problem easier to review before contacting support.
- Spend less time rebuilding context from the build page.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, then New Automation.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to draft a support email describing the failed build and including relevant available log details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failed build and verify the draft before sending.

Does the workflow send logs as an attachment?
