Record shipped releases from Slack in Honeybadger

After a teammate confirms a release is live in Slack, have Notis report the deployment to Honeybadger.

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

Release tracking can lag behind when deployment records depend on someone remembering a second manual update.

  • Keeps Honeybadger deployment history current from release announcements.
  • Cuts a follow-up step after a successful release.

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 when a Slack message confirms a release successfully shipped.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger.
  • 4Choose a channel for run reports and test with one genuine successful release announcement.

Questions about this workflow

Will a planned release be reported as deployed?

The prompt should require an explicit confirmation that the release shipped successfully.

Can a Slack message confirm a deployment?

Yes, if the team posts a clear release-complete message in a channel monitored by the trigger.
