Turn a new Box spec version into a build

When the build spec changes, Notis can read the updated instructions and start the build they request.

Trigger

New File Version Uploaded

Triggers when a new file version is uploaded to a file in Box. This trigger monitors a specific Box file and fires when new versions are detected.

Action

Start New Build

Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.

Why this helps

Updated build instructions can be missed when the team tracks documents in Box and builds in Codemagic.

  • React to a new version of the designated spec.
  • Keep the build tied to the latest document version.
  • Avoid manually relaying build changes.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Codemagic once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for the build spec.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the new version and start the specified Codemagic app workflow and branch or tag when the instructions are complete.
  • 4Choose the Box New File Version Uploaded trigger and a report channel.
  • 5Test with one real updated spec that names a valid build target.

Questions about this workflow

Will Notis infer missing build settings?

It can use details available in the file or your instruction. Provide the app, workflow, and branch or tag if they are not in the spec.

Does this update the source code in Codemagic?

No. It starts a build for the selected Codemagic app using the repository state Codemagic is configured to build.
