Notification when build starts

Hi,

I want to send notification to RocketChat when build starts. I get notification when it completes (pass/fail). How can I send ' Build Started'?
I have checked all 3 checkboxes in notification settings - Build success, build failure and Build status changed. But it isn't sending for build starts.

   There is no way to send built-in notification at the start of the build. However, you can easily call that endpoint with a simple curl or Invoke-WebRequest command in init section of your appveyor.yml.

   Is it a full error stack trace? It's hard to see what's wrong with the request. What do you get when running the same piece locally?

   I get the same error locally as well.. The error is "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request."

   Invoke-WebRequest : {"success":false,"error":"error-running-script"}

   I'm not familiar with RocketChat, but looking at their API docs it seems you are calling it wrong: https://rocket.chat/docs/developer-guides/rest-api/chat/postmessage...

   How is AppVeyor calling the webhook? Because below is all the configuration
   is set in it..

   - provider: Webhook

     url: https://chat.imobile3.com/hooks/***Y7

    method: POST

     headers:

       X-RocketChat-Channel: '#cicd'

     on_build_success: true

     on_build_failure: true

     on_build_status_changed: true

    You mean you are already calling like that and it works?

    Yes, the AppVeyor webhook works. But it does not send a notification when
    the build starts and I want to notify that. You mentioned using a
    PowerShell webrequest but it is throwing an error.

    Your PowerShell script differs from a screenshot in the initial post. In webhook settings you don't have a body while PS script sends username/password in the body.

    What is the request body that AppVeyor sends? I am just trying a sample
    body for the request.. Can you pls. share the request body that AppVeyor
    sets for build
