Azure Devops build custom conditions -target previous build

Is it possible to target the previous build in a custom condition?

What I try to accomplish:

  1. Post a message to Slack when build fails (this is easy)
  2. Post a message to Slack when a build changes status from failed to success (I don't want all successful builds posted to Slack, only the first one after a failed build)

No, it's not able to target the previous build in a custom condition. Custom condition can only target in the same build. You can add a task to use REST API checking the previous build result and current build result, and determine whether to post a message to Slack.

One way would be to retrieve the latest build and read the build status using the Rest API. The Slack message would then be conditional on previous BuildResult == succeeded & current BuildResult == failed.

You can get information about the previous build using the azure-devops rest API here:
