- Keep schedule and build context together
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Tell Notis to identify the referenced Appveyor build job, retrieve its artifacts, and summarize readiness for the changed event.
- 4Choose Calendar Event Changes as the trigger and select a report channel.
- 5Test with one changed release event.
