Capture Failed GitHub Deployments Automatically
Give every failed release a home and a next step.
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
Create a record
Creates a new record in a specified servicenow table. this endpoint allows you to create a new record with the provided data in the specified table.
Why this helps
Deployment failures often require context from several places, which makes follow-up easy to postpone.
- Captures environment and deployment context
- Makes failed releases visible outside GitHub
- Creates a consistent recovery trail
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and ServiceNow to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new portal automation or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: “When a GitHub deployment status becomes failure or error, create a ServiceNow incident with the environment, commit, deployment description, status, and deployment link.”
- 4Select the deployment-status trigger, choose where Notis reports runs, and test with one failed deployment.
Questions about this workflow
Can production deployments receive special urgency?
Yes. Ask Notis to use higher urgency when the deployment environment is production.
Does this trigger on successful deployments?
It can be instructed to create incidents only for failure or error statuses.
