Create a Notion incident brief when an Appveyor build fails
Get the build status and available log details into one Notion brief, ready for review and follow-up.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add multiple content blocks (bulk, user-friendly)
Efficiently adds multiple standard content blocks to a notion page in a single api call with automatic markdown parsing. the 'content' field in notionrichtext blocks now automatically detects and parses markdown formatting including headers (# ## ###), bold (**text**), italic (*text*), strikethrough (~~text~~), inline code (`code`), links ([text](url)), and more. ideal for bulk content creation, ai agents, and replacing multiple individual add page content calls. supports automatic text formatting, content splitting, and up to 100 blocks per request.
Why this helps
Build failures scatter status and diagnostic details across tools, making it easy to lose the thread before anyone decides what to do next.
- Collect build status and available log details in one reviewable page.
- Highlight missing context instead of guessing at a cause.
- Keep triage notes close to the team's Notion workspace.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Notion once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation with a name and a prompt describing the incident brief.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the failed build and available logs in a new Notion page, noting any missing context.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real failed build and review the resulting page.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run automatically when Appveyor reports a failure?
Appveyor has no trigger event in this setup. A Notis webhook starts the automation when an HTTP request is sent to it; arrange for your existing system to call that webhook when appropriate.
Will the brief identify the root cause?
It can summarize information returned by Appveyor, but it should label uncertainty and missing details rather than infer an unsupported cause.

Add content to Notion page
Deprecated: appends a single content block to a notion page or a parent block (must be page, toggle, to-do, bulleted/numbered list, callout, or quote); invoke repeatedly to add multiple blocks.
Append complex blocks (advanced, full control)
Appends complex blocks with full notion block structure to a parent block or page. use for advanced scenarios requiring precise control: code blocks, tables, embeds, nested children within blocks, or when working with pre-built notion block objects. requires full notion api block schema - use add multiple page content for simpler content creation.
Archive Notion Page
Archives (moves to trash) or unarchives (restores from trash) a specified notion page.
Create comment
Adds a comment to a notion page (via `parent page id`) or to an existing discussion thread (via `discussion id`); cannot create new discussion threads on specific blocks (inline comments).
Create Notion Database
Creates a new notion database as a subpage under a specified parent page with a defined properties schema; use this action exclusively for creating new databases.
Create Notion page
Creates a new empty page in a notion workspace.
Delete a block
Archives a notion block, page, or database using its id, which sets its 'archived' property to true (like moving to "trash" in the ui) and allows it to be restored later.
