Check Appveyor projects when a release file lands in Box

A release file appears in Box. Notis retrieves your Appveyor project list and sends a compact reference where your team already works.

Trigger

New File Added to Folder

Triggers when a new file is added to a folder in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box folder and fires when new files are detected. Only files (not folders or web links) are monitored.

Action

Get Projects

Why this helps

Release notes and deployment work often live in different tools, making it harder to quickly check which Appveyor projects are available.

  • Get an up-to-date Appveyor project list when release material arrives.
  • Reduce the need to switch tools to check project availability.
  • Keep a useful project reference with the Box event report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and name it for release project checks.
  • 3Tell Notis to retrieve Appveyor projects when a new file is added to the chosen Box folder and report the list with the file event.
  • 4Pick New File Added to Folder as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real release file.

Questions about this workflow

Does this start an Appveyor build?

No. The available Appveyor action retrieves the project list. It does not start builds.

Can I limit this to one Box folder?

Yes. Pick the Box folder when selecting the New File Added to Folder trigger.
