Make the deployment stop signal clear
If a deployment needs to stop, an agreed reaction on its Slack alert can trigger Notis to abort the matching in-progress DeployHQ deployment.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Action
Abort Deployment
Tool to abort a currently running deployment. Use when you need to terminate a deployment that is in progress.
Why this helps
When a release is going wrong, typing and routing a stop request adds delay and uncertainty.
- Use a visible signal your team already understands.
- Reduce ambiguity about whether a stop request was acted on.
- Keep the active deployment alert close to the response.
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 set it up conversationally.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to abort only the matching in-progress deployment when the designated reaction is added to its Slack alert.
- 4Select the Slack reaction-added trigger, set the intended emoji and channel, and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a safe real deployment alert and verify the matching deployment before relying on it.
Questions about this workflow
Will it abort any deployment in the project?
The instruction should require a clear match to the deployment alert and an in-progress status before asking DeployHQ to abort.
Does adding any reaction stop a deployment?
No. Configure the trigger for the specific agreed emoji and channel used for deployment alerts.
