Check deployment environments when a Box file gets a comment

A comment appears on a Box file. Notis retrieves Appveyor environments so the deployment reference is easy to find with the comment event.

Trigger

New File Comment Added

Triggers when a new comment is added to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new comments are detected.

Action

Get Environments

Tool to get a list of all deployment environments. use when you need to enumerate available environments before creating deployments.

Why this helps

Deployment discussions can stall when people need to leave the document thread to check which environments exist.

  • Make the available environment list easy to find during document follow-up.
  • Reduce context switching between Box and Appveyor.
  • Keep the environment lookup attached to a relevant comment event.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for deployment environment references.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve Appveyor environments when a new comment is added to the monitored Box file and include the list in the run report.
  • 4Pick New File Comment Added as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real comment on the monitored file.
