Question: What workflows are considered deployments?

[zmsmith]

I have certain workflows that trigger the deployment notification in slack and certain workflows that don't. In our project only one of the workflows that trigger a deployment notification are actually deployments.

The workflows deterministically lead to a notification or not, so I suspect this is not a transient issue causing confusion.

Is there a way to set specific workflows to cause a notification? Is there some determining factor that I'm having trouble identifying?

@zmsmith, Today we show following workflow notifications:

1. When there is a deployment review pending on an environment.
2. When an approval is completed on an environment.
3. When a deployment started on an environment. And we show the live status until it is completed.

Hi @ashokirla. Apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but the documentation isn't exactly clear; what exactly is the definition of a "deployment"? None of our Github Actions trigger a notification for "deployment" (whatever it is)

I believe you just need to set an environment, and it will show up in your deployment history. If it's in your deployment history, it should notify slack on deployments.

@Jared-Janrain Thanks! That did the trick :)
