How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionPage on-call if verification failsPagerDutyPagerDuty
  • OutputPost restore-verification result to SlackSlack

What it does

Proves that the artifact backing your newest release can actually be restored. When a GitHub release is published, it locates the corresponding artifact in Dropbox, downloads it, validates the checksum against the release notes, and verifies the file is non-empty and well-formed. A clean check is recorded; a failed check raises an alert immediately.

When to use it

Use it when Dropbox is your build-artifact store and you need a continuous guarantee that the latest release is recoverable. It turns 'we think the build is there' into a verified, logged fact at release time rather than during an incident.

How it works

  1. 1A GitHub release-published event triggers the run.
  2. 2Resolve the expected artifact path in Dropbox from the release tag.
  3. 3Download the artifact from Dropbox.
  4. 4Branch: compare the computed checksum and size against the values in the release; verify the file opens.
  5. 5If verification fails, page on-call via PagerDuty with the tag and reason.
  6. 6Post a pass/fail restore-verification note to Slack with the checksum and artifact path.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect DropboxFiles and folders.
  3. 3
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
