Inspect one deployment exclusion rule
When a specific path or exclusion rule is under discussion, Notis can retrieve its DeployHQ details without asking you to scan every rule.
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 Excluded File
Tool to view a specific excluded file in a DeployHQ project. Use when you need to retrieve details about a particular excluded file by its identifier.
Why this helps
Finding one rule inside a longer configuration list can pull attention away from the issue being investigated.
- Keep the lookup narrow and tied to the named rule.
- Reduce the effort of checking a long list of exclusions.
- Make file-scope questions easier to resolve.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and DeployHQ to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Write one instruction for Notis to retrieve the specified excluded file rule for the project named in Slack.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a real message naming a project and exclusion rule.
Questions about this workflow
What if the rule is not identified clearly?
Name the rule or path in Slack. If it is unknown, first retrieve the project's full exclusion list.
Can the workflow edit the rule?
No. This workflow retrieves the rule's current details.
