Give useful branches a ready deployment home
For approved preview or environment branches, Notis can create the DeployHQ server-group structure so setup does not become another founder task.
Trigger
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Action
Create Server Group
Tool to create a new server group for automated deployments in a DeployHQ project. Use when you need to set up a group of servers for deploying from a specific branch with auto-deploy and notification settings.
Why this helps
Preview branches are valuable but often stall because deployment infrastructure must be configured manually each time.
- Creates repeatable deployment infrastructure for approved branches.
- Reduces setup friction for previews and experiments.
- Makes environment provisioning less dependent on memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and DeployHQ to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to create a DeployHQ server group for newly created branches that match your approved preview pattern.
- 4Select the new-branch trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one disposable preview branch.
Questions about this workflow
Will it create groups for every branch?
No. Use the plain-language prompt to restrict it to approved branch naming patterns.
Can it enable auto-deploy?
Yes. Include that desired behavior in the instruction if the project supports it.
