Know what failed before reopening the build
A failed workflow run should immediately tell you what Appveyor produced.
Trigger
GitHub Workflow Run State Changed
Triggers when a GitHub Actions workflow run's status or conclusion changes. Monitors a single workflow run and fires an event whenever it transitions between states (e.g., queued to in_progress, or in_progress to completed) or when its conclusion is set (e.g., success, failure, cancelled).
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
Workflow failures become dropped balls when the failure notification contains no useful build output.
- Improves failure notifications
- Supports faster delegation
- Keeps work moving after interruptions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Appveyor once in Notis.
- 2Create the automation with: “When a GitHub workflow run fails, retrieve the matching Appveyor build artifacts and summarize them for me.”
- 3Select the GitHub Workflow Run State Changed trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 4Test with a real failed workflow run.
Questions about this workflow
What if there are no artifacts?
Notis can report that no artifacts were available, so the absence is visible instead of silently missed.
Can I receive this outside GitHub?
Yes. Choose any available Notis reporting channel during setup.

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
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 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.
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 Environments
Tool to get a list of all deployment environments. use when you need to enumerate available environments before creating deployments.
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 Projects
Tool to get a list of all projects for the authenticated account. use after authentication to enumerate available projects.
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 Role
Tool to retrieve details of a specific role. use when you need to inspect permissions and metadata of a role by id.
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.
Get Roles
Tool to retrieve all roles in the account. use when you need to enumerate available roles before assigning permissions.
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.
Get Users
Tool to retrieve all users in the account. use when you need to list all team users in your appveyor account.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
