Review release readiness from Appveyor in WhatsApp
See whether the latest build status looks ready for your next release decision, without piecing together updates yourself.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Send message
Send a text message to a whatsapp number. note: the message will reflect on the recipient's phone number only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
Release decisions get harder when build status is scattered across dashboards and conversations.
- Gather recent build status into one short summary.
- Make the next release decision with less context switching.
- Call out when available data is incomplete or unclear.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Appveyor and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to review recent Appveyor build status, summarize the evidence relevant to release readiness, and message the summary on WhatsApp without assuming missing checks or baselines.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real recent build and review the summary for accuracy.
Questions about this workflow
Does this certify that a release is safe?
No. It summarizes the Appveyor status available to Notis. Any release criteria or checks not returned by Appveyor must be supplied separately.
Can I use this for a one-time review?
Yes. Start it with a Notis webhook when you want to request a check outside the recurring schedule.
