Before deciding what is ready, ask Notis to bring recent commits and tags for the named DeployHQ branch into the Slack conversation.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Get Recent Commits and Tags

Tool to view up to 15 most recent revisions and up to 15 most recent tags in a specific branch. Use when you need to retrieve recent commit history and tag information from a project's repository branch.

Why this helps

Branch history checks break focus when they require manually opening repository views and tracing recent changes.

  • Review recent branch activity without rebuilding context.
  • See tags alongside commit history for release planning.
  • Answer readiness questions with a more focused lookup.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and DeployHQ to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
  • 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve recent commits and tags for the project branch named in Slack.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and set a run-report channel.
  • 5Test using a real planning message that names the project and branch.
