Send Codemagic webhooks from Slack approvals

Move an approved repository event from discussion to build automation quickly.

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

Receive Webhook

Tool to receive webhook payloads from Git providers to trigger builds automatically. Use when repository events (commits, pull requests, tags) need to trigger Codemagic builds programmatically.

Why this helps

Teams agree on a release in Slack but still manually recreate the repository event for Codemagic.

  • Reduces duplicated release steps
  • Keeps approval context visible
  • Supports automated build triggers

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Codemagic in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation for approved repository event forwarding.
  • 3Tell Notis to validate the repository event payload and send it to Codemagic only after approval.
  • 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel.
  • 5Test with a safe branch or test repository event.
