Report successful hotfixes from Slack
When the team confirms a hotfix is live, report the deployment to Honeybadger as part of the incident follow-up.
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
Report Deployment
Tool to report a new deployment to Honeybadger. Use after a successful release to notify Honeybadger of the deployment.
Why this helps
A quick hotfix can fix the issue but leave release history incomplete when documentation is postponed.
- Records successful fixes in deployment history.
- Reduces the cleanup work after urgent releases.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Honeybadger to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one prompt telling Notis to report a Honeybadger deployment only for messages that confirm a hotfix successfully shipped.
- 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one genuine hotfix completion message.
Questions about this workflow
Will a hotfix announcement create a deployment before it ships?
The prompt should require confirmation that the hotfix is live.
Can this be used for routine releases too?
Keep this workflow focused on hotfix confirmations, or define a separate rule for routine releases.
