Turn Build Callbacks into Telegram Follow-Ups
Convert an external callback into a readable build update for the team.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Message
Send a text message to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Callbacks can arrive as machine-oriented signals that do not clearly tell the team what needs attention.
- Translate a webhook-started check into readable status context.
- Send the update to the team chat where follow-up happens.
- Reduce manual interpretation of pipeline signals.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and Telegram once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or describe the intended outcome to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to use the callback context to check the relevant Appveyor build and send the returned status and next useful clue to Telegram.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and configure the external system to call its endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real callback and build.
Questions about this workflow
Can a callback include any build details I need?
The calling system must provide enough context to identify the relevant build, or the instruction must otherwise make it clear. Do not assume missing identifiers.
Will the message decide what action to take?
It can summarize returned information and a next useful clue, but a person should make decisions that require context not present in the data.
