Align Appcircle variable group names with release changes
Keep environment labels understandable when a release plan changes direction.
Trigger
Calendar Event Changes
Triggered when a new calendar event occurs (created, updated, or deleted) in the Outlook calendar.
Action
Rename Variable Group
Tool to rename an environment group (variable group) in Appcircle. Use when you need to update the name of an existing variable group to better reflect its purpose or environment.
Why this helps
Variable group names drift from the current release plan and confuse handoffs.
- Keeps naming aligned with approved plans
- Reduces environment confusion
- Creates an auditable change report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Appcircle in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Variable group rename request.
- 3Tell Notis to rename the specified group only when the changed event includes an explicit approved name.
- 4Choose Calendar Event Changes as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test it with one event update and verify the result.
Questions about this workflow

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Standard Repo Webhook Callback
Trigger Appcircle builds via Git provider webhook callbacks. This action forwards webhook payloads from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps to Appcircle's build webhook endpoint to automatically trigger builds when code is pushed. Use this action when: - Simulating or testing webhook-triggered builds - Programmatically triggering builds using webhook payloads - Integrating custom CI/CD workflows that need to trigger Appcircle builds - Replaying or debugging webhook events Requirements: - The organization must exist and have webhook integration configured in Appcircle - Build profiles must be set up with repository connections - The webhook URL pattern is: https://api.appcircle.io/build/v1/callback/hooks/{provider}/{org_id}/V7 Note: The action returns the raw HTTP response including status code and response body, allowing you to handle success, validation errors, or authentication issues appropriately.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Custom Integration Webhook Callback
Triggers Appcircle builds via custom integration webhook endpoint by forwarding Git provider webhook payloads. This action is designed to receive and forward webhook payloads from Git providers (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps) to Appcircle's build system. The webhook URL format and parameters (organization_id, integration_id, version) are provided by Appcircle when you configure custom integrations for repositories connected via SSH or public URL in the build profile settings. Use this action when: - You need to programmatically trigger Appcircle builds from Git provider webhook events - Testing webhook integrations with different payload structures - Implementing custom CI/CD workflows that forward webhook events to Appcircle Note: The organization_id and integration_id values must correspond to actual configurations in Appcircle. Test payloads will typically return 400/404 errors indicating no valid configuration exists for the provided IDs.
