Why this helps
Switching from a team conversation into Appveyor just to find a project name breaks focus and leaves the question hanging.
- Answers project lookup requests where the conversation already is.
- Reduces context switching during planning and triage.
- Gives the team one shared inventory to reference.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Appveyor to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal and give it a clear name.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to fetch Appveyor projects when someone asks for the project inventory in Slack, then summarize the results in the conversation.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real project-list request.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create or change Appveyor projects?
No. The selected Appveyor action retrieves the account's project list; the workflow only shares a summary in Slack.
Can I use it for a specific team channel?
Yes. Choose the relevant Slack channel when creating the automation and make the requested inventory clear in its prompt.
