Update a DeployHQ repository branch from Slack
Change the tracked branch from a private instruction without hunting through project settings.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Update Project Repository
Tool to update repository configuration for a project in DeployHQ. Use when you need to modify repository settings like branch, URL, SCM type, or authentication credentials.
Why this helps
Branch changes are easy to delay when the request arrives during a busy release conversation.
- Apply branch changes promptly
- Keep sensitive configuration requests private
- Reduce release setup friction
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slackbot and DeployHQ in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Repository branch update.
- 3Tell Notis to update the named DeployHQ project's repository branch only when the DM is explicit.
- 4Pick Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose where reports go, then test with a controlled branch update.
Questions about this workflow
Can it change repository credentials too?
This workflow should be limited to the branch request; other repository settings require their own explicit instruction.
