Slack — Deploy notifications
Receive real-time alerts when builds pass or fail
Setup guide
- GitHub Actions: Create a GitHub Actions workflow for pull requests that installs locked dependencies and runs lint, type checks, tests and a build. Configure the relevant branch protection or ruleset to require those checks before merging, and verify a deliberately failing test blocks a test PR. Do not assume a workflow’s existence makes its result required. (Read official instructions)
- Vercel: Connect the repository to Vercel and use preview deployments to review changes. Configure the production branch and deployment policy so production promotion occurs only after required checks pass; if direct pushes remain possible, configure an explicit deployment gate or CI-controlled promotion. Demonstrate that failing CI cannot reach production, then verify a successful test change at its deployed URL. (Read official instructions)
- Slack: Route GitHub Actions failures and Vercel deployment results to a dedicated Slack channel using supported integrations. Send controlled test notifications and include a link to the failed run or deployment. Notifications provide visibility; they do not replace a deployment gate. (Open Slack instructions)
Check: A deliberately failing test blocks the test PR and production promotion; a passing change reaches the expected deployment and sends the intended notification.
