Find the calendar event tied to a deployment
When a scheduled deployment check runs, locate the relevant release review event and keep its timing and context together.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find event
Finds events in a specified google calendar using text query, time ranges (event start/end, last modification), and event types; ensure `timemin` is not chronologically after `timemax` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Build status and release plans often live in separate places, making it hard to find the right review event quickly.
- Search for a relevant event using release or build details returned by Appveyor.
- Use a bounded time range to keep results focused.
- Avoid creating duplicate review events when an existing one can be identified.
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 Appveyor deployment information on schedule and find a matching release review event in Google Calendar.
- 4Pick the recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment and confirm the event search returns useful results.
Questions about this workflow
Does finding an event modify it?
No. The configured action searches for matching events; it does not change calendar entries.
What if the release name is missing from Appveyor results?
Notis can only search using available details. Supply a release name or other distinguishing text if Appveyor does not return one.
