Give pull requests useful build context
Open a pull request and have its available Appveyor outputs ready for review.
Trigger
New Pull Request Created
Triggers when a new pull request is created in GitHub, matching the optional configured filters. Emits an event for each newly created pull request. Supports filtering by repository, owner/organisation, author, assignee, label, state, base branch, head branch, and draft status.
Action
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.
Why this helps
Reviewers lose momentum when they need to locate build outputs before deciding whether to continue.
- Accelerates review readiness
- Makes technical handoffs smoother
- Reduces repeated status questions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appveyor once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation with: “When a new GitHub pull request is created, retrieve the relevant Appveyor build artifacts and summarize them for reviewers.”
- 3Pick the New Pull Request Created trigger and select a channel for reports.
- 4Test it with one real pull request.
Questions about this workflow
Can this be limited to a base branch?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger for the relevant base branch.
What if the build is not finished yet?
Notis can report the currently available artifact information and make the pending state clear.
