Why this helps
A role name alone may not answer the question, leaving someone to dig through Appveyor and remember to return to the thread.
- Adds detail to role names during an access discussion.
- Keeps the follow-up attached to the original question.
- Helps founders avoid losing focus to a settings search.
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 with a clear role-detail name.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to retrieve details for the named Appveyor role when a Slack access question includes it.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with a real named-role question.
