How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • ActionFetch PR title and authorGitHubGitHub
  • OutputPost verified-preview summary to SlackSlack

What it does

Closes the loop on a passing gate by telling humans. After a preview clears its smoke checks, the workflow posts a rich Slack message to the engineering channel: the PR title, the preview URL, the checks that ran, and a mention of the author confirming the ephemeral environment is verified and safe to merge. Reviewers stop guessing whether the preview is good.

When to use it

Use it when smoke results live somewhere your team doesn't watch and approvals stall because nobody knows the preview is healthy. Best for teams that coordinate merges in Slack and want a clear, author-tagged go signal the moment a preview turns green.

How it works

  1. 1Vercel signals the preview deployment is ready.
  2. 2An HTTP step runs the smoke suite against the preview URL.
  3. 3A logic branch proceeds only when every check passed.
  4. 4A GitHub action enriches the message with PR title, author, and head SHA.
  5. 5A Slack action posts the verified-preview summary to the team channel, mentioning the author.
