Start a Codemagic build when a release slide is added
Add a release slide and let Notis launch the matching Codemagic build.
Trigger
New Slide Added
Fires when a new slide is added to a Google Slides presentation.
Action
Start New Build
Tool to start a new build for an application with specified workflow and branch or tag. Use when you need to trigger a build programmatically. Either branch or tag parameter must be provided.
Why this helps
Release plans often sit in slides while the actual build still depends on a manual handoff.
- Reduce handoffs between planning and engineering
- Launch builds from plain language slide instructions
- Keep a run report for each release request
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Slides and Codemagic in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name the release build workflow.
- 3Tell Notis to read each new slide and start the requested Codemagic build.
- 4Pick New Slide Added as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test it by adding one real release slide.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis choose a branch from the slide?
Yes, if the slide states the branch or tag. Otherwise Notis reports that the required build reference is missing.
What happens if the slide is only notes?
Notis can summarize the ambiguity in the run report instead of starting an unsupported build.
