Bring Deployment Evidence into Telegram
Put a relevant deployment image alongside the status and discussion in your team chat.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Photo
Send photos to a telegram chat using the bot api.
Why this helps
Visual deployment evidence can remain separated from the message thread where people need it.
- Share an available visual artifact in the team chat.
- Keep deployment evidence near related discussion.
- Avoid manually reposting a relevant image.
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 outcome to Notis from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check the relevant Appveyor deployment and send a related image to Telegram if one is available.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and arrange for the deployment process to invoke it.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real deployment that has a relevant image available.
Questions about this workflow
Does Appveyor always return a deployment image?
No image availability is implied. This workflow can send a photo only when the check or calling process provides one.
Can it send a status if there is no image?
Ask Notis to report the returned deployment status in text when no image is available.
