Reduce branch-related CI confusion
Branch changes can bring the right Appveyor project context to the surface automatically.
Trigger
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Action
Get Projects
Tool to get a list of all projects for the authenticated account. use after authentication to enumerate available projects.
Why this helps
Switching branches often means forgetting which CI project or pipeline is relevant.
- Supports focused branch work
- Makes protection changes visible
- Reduces mental bookkeeping
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appveyor once through Notis.
- 2Create an automation with: “When this GitHub branch changes, retrieve Appveyor projects and summarize the projects relevant to the branch.”
- 3Choose the Branch Changed trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one branch change.
Questions about this workflow
What branch changes are covered?
The trigger can detect commits and branch protection changes for the monitored branch.
Can the report call out protection changes?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Appveyor. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Appveyor actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Build Artifacts
Tool to get the list of artifacts for a specific build job. use when you need to retrieve artifacts after a job completes.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get Environments
Tool to get a list of all deployment environments. use when you need to enumerate available environments before creating deployments.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Get Projects
Tool to get a list of all projects for the authenticated account. use after authentication to enumerate available projects.

Get Role
Tool to retrieve details of a specific role. use when you need to inspect permissions and metadata of a role by id.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Roles
Tool to retrieve all roles in the account. use when you need to enumerate available roles before assigning permissions.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Get Users
Tool to retrieve all users in the account. use when you need to list all team users in your appveyor account.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
