Refresh deployment references when an event changes
A change to an event can shift the plan. Retrieve Appveyor's environment list when calendar details are updated and keep the reference in your report.
Trigger
Event Updated
Triggers when an existing Google Calendar event is modified. Returns the event ID, change type, and the specific fields that changed with their previous and new values.
Action
Get Environments
Tool to get a list of all deployment environments. use when you need to enumerate available environments before creating deployments.
Why this helps
When meeting details change, deployment context may need another lookup, adding another task to an already busy day.
- Respond to an existing event modification with an environment lookup.
- Keep the current environment list in the run report.
- Reduce manual rechecking during shifting plans.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Calendar and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis: When an existing calendar event is modified, retrieve the Appveyor environments and include the changed event details and environment list in my run report.
- 4Pick Event Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real event update.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger show what changed?
Yes. Event Updated returns the event ID, change type, and specific fields changed with their previous and new values.
Does the environment lookup confirm a deployment is ready?
No. Get Environments lists available deployment environments; it does not report readiness or deployment status.
