Get a scheduled Appveyor build status digest in Slack
Replace repeated dashboard checks with one scheduled summary of the active builds your team is tracking.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action

Why this helps
Repeatedly checking build status interrupts focused work, while a missed update can leave the team uncertain.
- Review active build statuses in one Slack update.
- Check status on a recurring schedule that suits your team.
- Reduce manual dashboard visits.

- 1Connect Appveyor and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation from any channel, or in Automations, choose New Automation and enter a name and prompt.
- 3Tell Notis to check Appveyor build status and post a concise digest of active builds in Slack.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test it with one real status check.
Questions about this workflow
Can this use a schedule instead of an Appveyor event?
Yes. Appveyor has no trigger events listed here, so a recurring Notis cron schedule can start the status check.
What will the digest include?
It can include the active build statuses Appveyor returns when the scheduled run checks.
