Feature Announcement: Manage deploy notifications from the VIP Dashboard

Help your team stay informed when code is deployed to your VIP applications with our new notifications feature. Notifications can be sent to a Slack channel, by email, or to a general purpose webhook URL.

The Notifications management screen in the VIP Dashboard, showing deploy notifications for different environments, some for deployment success, some for deployment failure, and some for all deployment events.

Notifications can be sent for deployment success or failure, and can be flexibly configured to ensure your team is aware of activity by environment type (production or non-production) or for a single specific environment.

Start configuring notifications by visiting your application in the VIP Dashboard, and choosing “Notifications” in the left-hand navigation. If you’re an Organization Admin you can also manage notifications across your organization by visiting your Organization screen on the VIP Dashboard and choosing “Notifications” from the left-hand navigation.

Prior to this feature you may have had notifications created by VIP Support on your behalf. These pre-existing notifications have been migrated to the new system, and are present in the new management screens. You no longer need to contact VIP Support to create or update notifications, this is possible via the VIP Dashboard.

This is just the beginning of our work on notifications. Over the coming months we will be extending notifications to more event types and adding more destinations, places, and channels you can direct notifications to. If you have events that you want us to add to this feature or additional destinations you’d like to receive notifications in, please let us know by clicking the “Give Feedback” button at the top right of any Notifications screen or by contacting support and asking them to pass your request on.

Read our public documentation on Notifications and watch this space for more announcements as we expand the reach of this feature.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact support and we’ll be happy to help.
