Tell the right people when a deployment is live
Give collaborators a clear confirmation when a release finishes, without pausing to write the same update by hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
People may keep waiting or asking for updates after a deployment has already succeeded.
- Share release status promptly.
- Include the build or deployment details available in the webhook.
- Avoid manually composing routine completion emails.
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 email the chosen recipients when the webhook reports a successful deployment, including available build details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real successful deployment and confirm the recipients and message.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer who should receive the email?
Name the recipients or their roles in your instruction. Notis should not guess an address that you have not supplied.
What if the webhook has no build details?
The email can only include information provided with the webhook or available from Appveyor. Supply any missing context in your instruction or webhook payload.
