Keep deployment context accurate as releases evolve
Your monitoring timeline should match what was actually deployed.
Trigger
GitHub Deployment State Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub deployment's fields change. Monitors the following aspects of a single deployment: - ``environment`` -- the target environment name - ``original_environment`` -- the original environment name before normalization - ``description`` -- the human-readable deployment description - ``task`` -- the deployment task name - ``sha`` -- the commit SHA being deployed - ``ref`` -- the branch, tag, or SHA reference being deployed - ``updated_at`` -- the last-updated timestamp - ``transient_environment`` -- whether the environment is temporary - ``production_environment`` -- whether this is a production deployment When any of these fields change, an event is emitted containing the full current deployment details and a list of which fields changed.
Action
Report Deployment
Tool to report a new deployment to Honeybadger. Use after a successful release to notify Honeybadger of the deployment.
Why this helps
Environment, ref, or commit changes can make a deployment history confusing after a rushed release.
- Keeps changed deployment details visible
- Improves post-incident reconstruction
- Reduces manual release-note maintenance
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a GitHub deployment changes its environment, ref, commit, task, or production flag, report the updated deployment to Honeybadger and mention the changed fields.”
- 4Select the deployment-state trigger, choose a channel for run reports, and test with one metadata change.
Questions about this workflow
Does this create a new deployment record for every change?
The instruction can ask Notis to report the updated deployment with the changed fields so the timeline remains understandable.
Is this useful for temporary environments?
Yes. Environment and temporary-environment changes are part of the monitored deployment details.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Honeybadger. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Honeybadger actions
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Report Check-In
Tool to report a check-in (ping) to Honeybadger. Use when monitoring scheduled tasks to signal they're running on time.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Report Deployment
Tool to report a new deployment to Honeybadger. Use after a successful release to notify Honeybadger of the deployment.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Report Event
Tool to send custom events to Honeybadger Insights. Use when recording structured NDJSON telemetry.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Report Exception
Tool to report an exception notice to Honeybadger. Use when sending error details (stack trace, context) for diagnostics.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Upload File to S3
Tool to upload a local file to a managed S3 bucket. Use when preparing files for source-map uploads.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Upload Source Map
Tool to upload JavaScript source maps for error de-minification. Use after deploying assets to Honeybadger to attach source maps.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
