Give build triage a regular place in your day
A short, predictable triage block helps recent Appveyor failures turn into decisions instead of open loops.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
When build alerts arrive throughout the day, it is easy to postpone reviewing them until the context is gone.
- Review recent build outcomes in a predictable window.
- Create a calendar block only when the returned results show failures needing attention.
- Keep failure details with the block when Appveyor provides them.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to check recent Appveyor builds on the schedule and create one triage block if failures need attention.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the time window and calendar block.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow compare failures with a previous baseline?
Only if that baseline is supplied. The workflow can reason over returned build results, but no historical baseline is specified by these app descriptions.
What starts this automation?
A recurring Notis schedule starts it. Appveyor has no native trigger event listed in this package.
