Why this helps
Build details can be hard to find again after an alert sends you back to the CI dashboard.
- Share a returned log file directly in Telegram.
- Keep build investigation close to team discussion.
- Avoid manually downloading and reposting available logs.
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 check the relevant Appveyor build and send its available failure log as a Telegram document.
- 4Choose notis_webhook as the trigger and connect the calling system to its endpoint.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real build that has an available log.
Questions about this workflow
Will this send logs for every build?
The instruction can request logs for a relevant failed build. Define the intended build in the webhook request or prompt, and rely only on logs Appveyor returns.
What if Appveyor does not return a downloadable log?
Notis cannot send a file that is unavailable. Adjust the instruction to send a short Telegram message describing the returned status instead.
