Put deployment reviews on your calendar
Turn a deployment handoff into a quick calendar reminder, with the build or release context close at hand.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Quick Add Event
Parses natural language text to quickly create a basic google calendar event with its title, date, and time, suitable for simple scheduling; does not support direct attendee addition or recurring events, and `calendar id` must be valid if not 'primary'.
Why this helps
Deployment checks often depend on remembering to return to a build after the initial launch.
- Create a simple reminder from a natural-language request.
- Keep the deployment or build reference in the reminder when supplied.
- Reduce the chance that a post-deployment check slips past.
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 quick-add a calendar reminder when a deployment-review request arrives, using its supplied date, time, and build details.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment request and check the calendar entry.
Questions about this workflow
What information should the webhook request include?
Include the deployment context and a natural-language date and time for the review. Quick Add is intended for a basic event and does not add attendees or recurring events.
Will this detect deployments on its own?
No. Appveyor has no native trigger events listed here. An external caller needs to send a request to the Notis webhook.
