Start Codemagic builds from Outlook requests
A clear build request in your inbox can start the pipeline immediately.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
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
Build requests get buried in busy inboxes and require manual context switching.
- Reduce manual build steps
- Keep release requests moving
- Use the branch and workflow named in the message
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Codemagic in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis to start a Codemagic build when an email clearly requests one, using the app, workflow, and branch stated in the email.
- 3Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go, then test with one real build request.
Questions about this workflow
What if the email omits a branch?
Tell Notis to report the missing branch instead of starting a build.
Can this handle tags?
Use a tag in the request only when your Codemagic build process accepts a tag; otherwise ask for a branch.
