Turn Appveyor build failures into Jira issues
Give each failed build a clear place to be investigated, with its available build details captured in Jira.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Issue
Creates a new jira issue (e.g., bug, task, story) in a specified project.
Why this helps
A failed build can get lost among alerts, leaving someone to recreate the context before they can start fixing it.
- Capture build details in a Jira issue as the failure arrives.
- Reduce manual copying between CI alerts and the team backlog.
- Give the team one place to track investigation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Jira once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis the outcome in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to create a Jira issue when an Appveyor failure notification arrives and include the available build and log details.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real Appveyor failure notification.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this automation?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Configure Appveyor or your existing notification path to send the failure details to that webhook.
Will the issue include the full build log?
Notis can include log information available in the request or returned by Appveyor. If full logs are not available, the issue can include the supplied build details and any log reference.
