Show failed GitHub deployments on Vestaboard
A simple board alert keeps release problems from becoming invisible.

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
