Keep launch tracking aligned with deployment status
See whether a release is pending, live, or blocked in the same system as the rest of your launch plan.
Trigger
New Deployment Status Created
Triggers when a new deployment status is created for a specific deployment. Fires an event for each newly created deployment status on the monitored deployment. Deployment statuses represent state transitions such as pending, in_progress, success, failure, error, inactive, and queued. The payload includes the status state, creator, environment, description, timestamps, and relevant URLs.
Action
Update object record
Tool to update an existing record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to modify field values in an existing record. Only fields provided in the request will be updated; all other fields remain unchanged.
Why this helps
Deployment state can change while you are handling customers, team questions, or launch logistics.
- Connects technical state to launch planning
- Reduces status-chasing
- Makes blocked launches easier to spot
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Knack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Tell Notis to update the matching Knack launch record with each new GitHub deployment status.
- 4Choose New Deployment Status Created and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one deployment status.
Questions about this workflow
Can this cover staging and production?
Yes. Configure the GitHub deployment trigger for the environments you need.
Can it preserve the deployment URL?
Yes. Ask Notis to include the status details and relevant GitHub links.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Knack. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Knack 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.
Create object record
Tool to create a new record in a specific Knack object. Use when you need to add new data to a Knack database object. Requires object-based API key authentication.
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.
Create View Record
Tool to create a new record through a form view in Knack. Use when you need to add a record to a Knack object using a form view interface. Only fields that exist in the form will be used, and any record rules configured on the form will be triggered.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete Object Record
Tool to delete a single record from a specific Knack object by its ID. Use when you need to permanently remove a record from an object. This action is permanent and cannot be undone. Requires API key authentication (X-Knack-Application-Id and X-Knack-REST-API-KEY headers).
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.
Delete View Record
Tool to delete a record through a view that contains a delete link. Works with tables, lists, searches, calendars, and details views. This operation is permanent and cannot be undone. Use only after confirming the correct scene_key, view_key, and record_id.
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.
Get Object Record
Tool to retrieve a single record by its ID from a specific Knack object. Returns the complete record with all field values in both formatted and raw formats. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication.
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.
List Object Records
Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack object (table). Returns up to 1000 records per page with pagination support. Use this for object-based access which requires API key authentication and provides full access to all fields and records. Supports filtering by field values and sorting by field keys.
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.
List View Records
Tool to retrieve multiple records from a specific Knack view (tables, lists, searches, calendars). Use when you need to fetch data from a view with pagination support. Returns only fields included in the view configuration.
