Pair changing Google Docs with Appveyor artifacts
When a release document changes, the files from CI should be easy to find. Notis can retrieve artifacts and explain what matters.
Trigger
Document Search Update
Triggers when a Google Doc matching a user-defined search query is newly created or updated since the last poll. This trigger uses timestamp filtering to efficiently monitor documents.
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
