- Apply approved configuration changes
- Keep settings aligned with team decisions
- Create an auditable report

- 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with a controlled settings change.
Questions about this workflow
Can it update only one setting?
Yes. DeployHQ supports partial updates, so Notis can change only the setting named in the Slack request.
