Why this helps
Approval messages can lack the configuration evidence that explains what was approved.
- Strengthens approval records
- Keeps config evidence easy to find
- Reduces post approval reconstruction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and CircleCI in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Sent config approval review.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the approved pipeline from each sent message, retrieve its source or compiled config, and summarize the configuration included in the approval record.
- 4Pick New Sent Message as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval message.
Questions about this workflow
Is the configuration changed?
