Keep deployment environments handy for new events
A new event can mean a new deployment conversation. Have Notis retrieve the available Appveyor environments as the event is created.
Trigger
Event Created
Polling trigger that fires when a new calendar event is created. Returns event ID, summary, start/end times, and organizer info.
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
Deployment planning details can be scattered across calendars and CI tools, making it harder to prepare consistently.
- Retrieve the available Appveyor environments after a new event is created.
- Keep a deployment reference linked to the automation report.
- Avoid manually opening Appveyor just to enumerate environments.
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 a calendar event is created, retrieve the available Appveyor environments and include the list in my run report.
- 4Pick Event Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real calendar event.
