Coordinate deployment recovery with a ready-to-review draft
When a deployment needs recovery, gather the facts and prepare a clear coordination email while you focus on the fix.
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
During a rollback, teams lose time reconstructing what happened and who needs an update.
- Gather the available recovery context in one draft.
- Share the next steps you specify with the right people.
- Reduce repeated status explanations during a stressful release.
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 coordination email when the webhook signals a rollback or recovery, including available details and specified next steps.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recovery example and review the draft before sending.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis decide whether to roll back?
No. The webhook or your instruction should indicate that rollback or recovery coordination is needed. Notis prepares the requested communication.
What if the next steps are not known yet?
Ask the draft to state what is known and list the missing decision or information, instead of inventing a plan.
