Questions about this workflow
Does Appveyor start this automation automatically?
Appveyor has no trigger events in this workflow. A webhook request starts the automation, and the instruction can ask Notis to check Appveyor for the relevant build status.
Can the alert include build logs?
Ask Notis to include useful log details if they are returned by Appveyor. The workflow cannot include logs that Appveyor does not provide for the check.
