Abort a running DeployHQ deployment from Slack

Stop a problematic deployment from the incident channel while the context is fresh.

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

Abort Deployment

Tool to abort a currently running deployment. Use when you need to terminate a deployment that is in progress.

Why this helps

Every minute spent switching tools can extend the impact of a bad deployment.

  • Shorten incident response time
  • Keep the abort decision visible
  • Reduce tool switching during outages

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and DeployHQ in Notis once.
  • 2Create an automation named Abort deployment on incident.
  • 3Describe that explicit incident requests should identify the running deployment and abort it in DeployHQ.
  • 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
  • 5Choose a report channel, then test with a controlled running deployment.

Questions about this workflow

Will it abort every deployment mentioned?

Notis should act only when the message clearly identifies the running deployment to abort and can ask for clarification otherwise.
