Make tagged releases easier to verify
A release tag can trigger the artifact check you would otherwise have to remember.
Trigger
New Repository Tag Created
Triggers when a new tag is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors the repository's tags and fires an event for each newly created tag. The payload includes the tag name, the commit SHA and URL it points to, and archive download URLs.
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
Release verification is vulnerable to rushed checks and forgotten build outputs.
- Adds a dependable release checkpoint
- Reduces last-minute searching
- Improves release traceability
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appveyor once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation with: “When a new GitHub release tag is created, retrieve the related Appveyor artifacts and summarize release-readiness evidence.”
- 3Choose the New Repository Tag Created trigger and select a reporting channel.
- 4Test with one new tag.
Questions about this workflow
Can it monitor only version tags?
Yes. Configure the GitHub tag trigger for the repository or naming pattern you use.
Does it publish the release?

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.
