Create a Linear issue when an Appveyor build fails
Capture failed build details in Linear so the next step is easy to find and assign.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Build failures can get lost in deployment noise, leaving someone to recreate the error context later.
- Keep the failure and its investigation in one place.
- Include build identifiers, error details, and log excerpts supplied in the webhook.
- Reduce manual copying between deployment monitoring and issue tracking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Linear once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Describe that a failed-build webhook should create a Linear issue with the supplied build details and log context.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failed-build example.
Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook need to include?
Send enough context to identify the build and understand the failure, such as the project, build identifier, failure details, and any relevant log excerpt.
Does this monitor Appveyor by itself?
No. Appveyor exposes no trigger event in this workflow setup. An HTTP request containing the build data starts the automation.
