Pause deployments when a key owner starts leave
Keep an unexpected leave from leaving a production rollout without an owner.
Trigger
Worker Leave of Absence Created
Triggers when a new leave of absence record is created for a worker. This trigger monitors a specific worker's leaves of absence and detects when new leave records appear (e.g., when a leave is initiated/recorded). Uses snapshot-based diffing to compare leave record IDs between polls.
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
A deployment can continue after its only reviewer or incident owner becomes unavailable.
- Stops unattended releases quickly
- Reduces handoff gaps during leave
- Creates an auditable decision report
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Workday and DeployHQ once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation named Leave deployment guard.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the affected worker and abort only a matching active deployment when that worker is the declared owner.
- 4Pick Worker Leave of Absence Created as the trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one real leave and an active deployment.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know which deployment belongs to the worker?
Include the ownership convention in the instruction, such as a project owner tag or repository naming rule. If no match is found, Notis reports that no deployment was changed.
Will it cancel completed deployments?
No. The action is used for a currently running deployment and reports when nothing is active.
