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.
