Keep release changes accountable
Release edits should come with a quick check of the outputs behind them.
Trigger
GitHub Release State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub release (identified by tag name) changes. Monitors the release title, body/notes, draft flag, prerelease flag, published timestamp, target branch/commit, and the set of attached assets. The payload includes the full current release details, a list of which fields changed, and the previous values for comparison.
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
Small release edits can create uncertainty about whether the package and build outputs still match.
- Maintains release consistency
- Makes edits easier to review
- Reduces post-release surprises
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appveyor once through Notis.
- 2Create an automation with: “When this GitHub release changes, retrieve the related Appveyor artifacts and summarize any release-evidence concerns.”
- 3Choose the GitHub Release State Changed trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 4Test with one release update.

Which release changes can trigger it?
The trigger monitors configured release fields such as notes, draft status, prerelease status, target, and assets.
Can it focus on published releases?
Yes. Configure the release trigger and prompt around the release state you need.

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.
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.
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.
