Post Build step to notify third part of deploy

Hi,

I'm considering an error logging service such as raygun.io or rollbar.com and they provide the means to track deploys so they can identify problematic deploys. This requires I send them notification when a deploy is successful.

These services provide different ways of doing this such as powershell scripts, msbuild targets or a plain old HTTP Post.

See here for examples:

https://rollbar.com/docs/deploys_msbuild/
https://rollbar.com/docs/deploys_other/
https://raygun.io/docs/deployments/powershell
https://raygun.io/docs/deployments/api

How would I go about setting this up? do you have any documentation or examples? which of the above methods is the best way to achieve this?

Also, the script (regardless of whether it's ps, msbuild, or http) will need to use a different ApiKey (or some other value) for each 'environment' so some sort of transformation will be needed.

Thanks

P.S. I may not even choose either of the above two services, they simply provide an example.

   Hi Chris,

   Notifying external services about successful deploy is only possible if you deploy during the build thus you can write PowerShell script calling 3rd-party hooks.

   Thanks for the reply.

   Just to clarify. What about promoting a green build to an AppVeyor
   Environment? or is it only when deploying from an AppVeyor Project?

   Thanks
   Chris

   You can use "Environment" deployment provider to kick off deployment on specific environment upon successful build.

   Let me know if I corrected understood your question.
