Hotfix Artifacts at Your Fingertips

Hotfix requests are urgent. Get build artifacts in the same thread instead of hunting while the team waits.

Trigger

Comment Received Trigger

Triggered when a comment is received.

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

Hotfix requests are high-pressure. Switching to Appveyor to find artifacts breaks momentum while coordinating the deployment.

  • Deploy hotfixes faster without tool-switching
  • Keep coordination in one thread
  • Reduce deployment time by 3+ minutes

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Ensure Appveyor is connected to Notis
  • 2Tell Notis: 'When someone comments asking for a hotfix, fetch the latest build artifacts'
  • 3Select 'Comment Received' as your trigger
  • 4Notis posts directly to the comment thread
  • 5Test by commenting 'hotfix needed for X' and verify artifacts appear immediately

Questions about this workflow

Which artifacts does this fetch?

The most recent ones by default. If you need a specific branch or version, mention that in the comment.

Can Notis deploy the hotfix too?

This fetches artifacts. Deployment is separate, but having artifacts in the thread speeds up handoff.

What if we don't have recent builds?

Notis shows what's available. If nothing exists, it signals you need to build first.
