- Refresh artifact availability after a handoff change
- Give teams a clear audit trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Appveyor in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named reaction removal artifact audit.
- 3Describe that Notis should identify the related Appveyor build from the message context, retrieve artifacts, and explain what changed.
- 4Pick Slackbot Message Reaction Removed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test by removing one real reaction from a release message.
Questions about this workflow
Does removing a reaction delete artifacts?
No. The workflow only retrieves the artifact list for review.
What if the message is unrelated to a build?
Notis can report that no Appveyor build reference was found and stop without inventing one.
