Start a network baseline for planned maintenance
Use the maintenance announcement as a cue for a network measurement, so the baseline step does not become another item to remember.
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
Create Measurement
Tool to create and trigger a network measurement. Use when you need connectivity checks from specific geographic or network locations.
Why this helps
Planned work brings enough coordination that pre-change network checks can fall through the cracks.
- Attach a baseline check to the maintenance notice.
- Keep the affected hostname close to the measurement request.
- Reduce manual follow-up before planned network changes.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Globalping to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language prompt to start a Globalping measurement for the hostname in maintenance announcements in the selected channel.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real maintenance announcement that names the affected host.
Questions about this workflow
Does this run before maintenance begins?
It starts when the Slack message arrives. Include suitable timing in the announcement and decide whether this trigger timing fits your process.
Is this a complete before-and-after comparison?
No. This workflow starts a measurement from the announcement; it does not schedule a second measurement automatically.
