Make build health updates easy for collaborators to access
Create a regular Appveyor health brief and share the Drive file with the people who need to follow up.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Add file sharing preference
Modifies sharing permissions for an existing google drive file, granting a specified role to a user, group, domain, or 'anyone'.
Why this helps
A useful build summary does little good if the people who need it cannot find or open it.
- Give named collaborators access to the report they need.
- Keep build health notes in a shared, searchable location.
- Reduce manual status handoffs after scheduled checks.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to review available build status, save a concise health report in Drive, and grant the specified person or group the requested role on that file.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and confirm the report and access are correct.
Questions about this workflow
Who receives access?
Specify a user, group, domain, or anyone, along with the role you intend to grant. Avoid broad access unless that is what you want.
Does the schedule trigger come from Appveyor?
No. A recurring Notis cron schedule starts this workflow; Appveyor has no listed trigger events here.
What if the report cannot be created?
Sharing requires an existing Drive file. The prompt should create the report first and only attempt to grant access after the file is saved.
