Act on an explicit request to stop a deployment

When a release channel sends a clear stop request, have Notis use DeployHQ's abort action for the identified running deployment and report the outcome.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Abort Deployment

Tool to abort a currently running deployment. Use when you need to terminate a deployment that is in progress.

Why this helps

An urgent stop request can be missed while people switch between chat and deployment tools.

  • Route an explicit stop request without manual context switching.
  • Require the request to identify the running deployment.
  • Keep a report of the action outcome in the chosen channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and DeployHQ once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation that uses DeployHQ's abort action only for a clear request identifying a running deployment.
  • 3Choose a webhook trigger and forward the relevant Ably event.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real, authorized request and a suitable running deployment.

Questions about this workflow

Will this abort every deployment named in an event?

The instruction should limit the action to an explicitly identified currently running deployment. Notis should report ambiguous requests instead of guessing.

Can it abort a deployment that has already finished?

The action is for a deployment currently in progress. It does not undo a completed deployment.
