I have 2 project, and on of them is acceptance test, and the other one is MainProject. After the main project build then starts acceptance test and then I'm having email send to me when acceptance test finished. I'm using standart email template.
I'm wondering can I get {projectName}, {commitAuthor}, {commitAuthorEmail}, {commitMessage} of MainProject. Is it possible ? I tried find something like that but I couldn't find anything.

My email template:

<div style="font-family:'Segoe UI',Arial,Sans-Serif;font-size:10pt;">
    {{#passed}}
    <h1 style="font-size: 150%;font-weight:normal; color:#078DC7;"><a href="{{buildUrl}}" style="color:#078DC7;">Build {{projectName}} {{buildVersion}} completed</a></h1>{{/passed}}
    {{#failed}}
    <h1 style="font-size: 150%;font-weight:normal; color:#ff3228;"><a href="{{buildUrl}}" style="color:#ff3228;">Build {{projectName}} {{buildVersion}} failed</a></h1>{{/failed}}
    <p style="color: #888;">
        Commit <a href="{{commitUrl}}">{{commitId}}</a> by <a href="mailto:{{commitAuthorEmail}}">{{commitAuthor}}</a> on {{commitDate}}:
        <br />
        <span style="font-size: 110%;color:#222;">{{commitMessage}}</span>
    </p>
    <p><a href="{{notificationSettingsUrl}}" style="font-size:85%;color:#999;">Configure your notification preferences</a></p>
</div>

   So, you start second project build using AppVeyor REST API?

   Hi Feodor, thanks for reply

   I'm running this script after main project deployment to run the acceptance-tests project

   $token = 'xxxxxx'
   $headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"}
   $body = @{accountName = "myaccount"; projectSlug = "myproject-acceptance-tests"}
   $bodyAsJson = $body | ConvertTo-json
   Invoke-Restmethod -uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/builds' -Headers $headers -Method Post -Body $bodyAsjson -ContentType "application/json"

   Great. You can grab the information about current (parent) build from environment variables and pass it to the second build in environment variables: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/api/projects-builds#start-build-of-bra...

   Let me know if you have any questions.

   I tired but it didn't work, maybe i used wrong.

   I changed my script like this:

   $token = 'xxxxxx'
   $headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer $token"}
   $body = @{accountName = "myaccount"; projectSlug = "myproject-acceptance-tests";
   environmentVariables: {
          tolgaTest: 'tolga test value',
          webSitesCommit: '$APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT'
       }
   }
   $bodyAsJson = $body | ConvertTo-json
   Invoke-Restmethod -uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/builds' -Headers $headers -Method Post -Body $bodyAsjson -ContentType "application/json"

   And my acceptance test notification mail template is below:

   Build {{status}}: {{projectName}} {{buildVersion}}

   Broker Websites Commit: {{webSitesCommit}}

   Tolga Test: {{tolgaTest}}

   I recived fail message:

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    environmentVariables: {
   + ~
   Missing '=' operator after key in hash literal.
    
   At line:10 char:7
   + Invoke-Restmethod -uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/builds' -Headers $headers -M ...
   + ~

   At line:10 char:7
   + Invoke-Restmethod -uri 'https://ci.appveyor.com/api/builds' -Headers $headers -M ...
   + ~
   The hash literal was incomplete.
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
   Then i changed environmentVariables like this:

   environmentVariables = {
          tolgaTest: 'tolga test value',
          webSitesCommit: '$APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT'
       }

   And I recived error is:
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Invoke-Restmethod : {"message":"The request is invalid.","modelState":{"request.environmentVariables.Attributes":["An error has occurred."],"request.environmentVariables.StartPosition":["An error has

   At line:10 char:1

   The problem with hash definition. Should be:

   $body = @{
       accountName = "myaccount"
       projectSlug = "myproject-acceptance-tests"
       environmentVariables = @{ 
          tolgaTest = 'tolga test value'
          webSitesCommit = '$APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT' 
       }
   }
   
   $bodyAsJson = $body | ConvertTo-json

   I tried but it didn't work.

   My email script like this

   {{projectName}}
   tolga test: {{tolgaTest }}
   webSitesCommit : {{webSitesCommit}}

   I recived mail like this:
   -------------------------------------
   AcceptanceTest
   tolga test:
   webSitesCommit:
   -------------------------------------

   Oh, forgot to mention - environment variables are not supported in mail templates. Feel free to submit a feature request here: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues

    I have a project A triggers acceptance test after building. When acceptance test fails it sends me an email says that the last build version of acceptance test failed, which makes me confused is the acceptance test faild because it is not building or because it is couldn't pass the test ?
    It should say that the last version of project A failed so I know that acceptance test didn't pass.
