Keep release logs with the work they explain
When a release needs a record, send a webhook request and save its available Appveyor logs and context to Drive.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Upload File
Uploads a file (max 5mb) to google drive, moving it to a specified folder if a valid folder id is provided, otherwise uploads to root.
Why this helps
Release investigation gets harder when deployment logs are separated from the notes people use to understand the release.
- Keep release evidence available for later investigation.
- Save a durable copy of the available deployment context.
- Make release records easier to locate in Drive.
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 retrieve available logs for the requested deployment and save them with a short release summary as a Drive file.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real deployment request and check the saved file.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically run when Appveyor deploys?
No Appveyor trigger events are listed for this package. A webhook request starts the automation and can include the deployment context Notis should use.
What if the logs are unavailable?
The instruction should have Notis report that logs could not be retrieved and avoid creating a file that implies the archive is complete.
What file size can be saved?
The listed Upload File action supports files up to 5 MB. If logs exceed that size, the automation may need to save a shorter summary instead.
