Check Contentful references in release messages
Make release coordination easier by checking the source records from the announcement itself.
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
GraphQL Content API Query
Tool to execute a GraphQL query against a specified space and environment. Use when fetching Contentful content via GraphQL after obtaining or providing a valid token.
Why this helps
Release threads often mention content without confirming the underlying entries.
- Reduce release day uncertainty
- Keep source records tied to announcements
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and Contentful graphql once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Channel Release Reference Check.
- 3Tell Notis to extract Contentful identifiers or names from release messages, query the matching entries, and summarize any missing references.
- 4Pick Channel Message Received, choose the report channel, and test with one real release message.
Questions about this workflow
What if the release message has no identifier?
Have Notis use explicit entry names when possible and report when no reliable match exists.
Does this publish anything?
No. It checks and reports Contentful data.
