The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • OutputPost public update across platformsSocial publishing

What it does

It closes the loop on the approval step. Once a human approves a drafted incident update in Slack, the workflow publishes the final text to your status page and pushes the identical wording out to every customer channel at once — so the status page, the customer email, and the public post never drift out of sync.

When to use it

Use it as the back half of an incident-comms pipeline: a separate workflow drafts the update, a person approves it, and this one handles consistent, simultaneous publication so no channel is forgotten or worded differently under pressure.

How it works

  1. 1An approval action in Slack (button click on the drafted update) triggers the workflow with the approved text and severity.
  2. 2A logic step confirms the payload came from an authorized approver and that the update isn't a duplicate of the last published state.
  3. 3An HTTP action posts the finalized update to the status-page provider's incidents API.
  4. 4In parallel, the same wording goes out as a customer email via Gmail and a public post via the multi-platform poster.
