Why this helps
Repeatedly checking build dashboards interrupts focused work, while missed failures create cleanup later.
- Review build health on a predictable schedule.
- Bring notable returned statuses into one message.
- Spend less time checking dashboards manually.
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 result to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review available recent Appveyor build statuses and summarize notable results in Telegram.
- 4Choose notis_cron as the trigger and set the schedule.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real review of available build information.
Questions about this workflow
Does this digest know every build from the last day?
It can summarize the recent build information Appveyor makes available to the check. If a complete time range or history is unavailable, the digest should say so.
Can I choose the schedule?
Yes. Choose the recurring schedule when selecting the notis_cron trigger in the automation flow.
