Coordinate config unlocks with maintenance approval
Make the permission step visible in the maintenance conversation before work begins.
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
Unlock Config
Tool to unlock a config. Use when you need to allow renaming or deletion of a previously locked config. Example: "Unlock config 'staging-config' in project 'proj-123'."
Why this helps
A planned change can stall when the config remains locked and the unlock step is missed.
- Keeps unlock intent tied to the maintenance thread.
- Requires a clear approval signal and target config.
- Makes the action visible through run reporting.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Doppler secretops to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation through the portal or ask Notis to unlock configs for approved maintenance.
- 3In one instruction, require explicit approval and the project and config identifiers before unlocking.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one approved maintenance request.
Questions about this workflow
Will a general maintenance discussion unlock a config?
The instruction should require explicit approval and complete identifiers.
Can this update secret values?
No. It unlocks the config; a separate action is needed for secret updates.
