Help new team members understand where builds and deployments live before they need them.

Trigger

New User Created

Triggered when a new user is created in Zendesk.

Action

Get Environments

Why this helps

Onboarding documents go stale and new users lack a shared view of deployment targets.

  • Reduce onboarding confusion
  • Keep environment references current
  • Create a repeatable onboarding report

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Zendesk and Appveyor once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create a new automation and name it for environment onboarding.
  • 3Describe that Notis should retrieve Appveyor environments and summarize the deployment landscape for each newly created Zendesk user.
  • 4Pick New User Created as the trigger and choose where reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real user creation event.

Questions about this workflow

Does this tailor environments to a person's role?

Only when the event or your instruction includes role context; otherwise it reports the available environments for review.

Does it create an onboarding account?
