1.Detect deploy announcement posts
Integrate Slack and notification tools to capture the new message text and timestamp from your deploy channel.
Post deployment timelines and collect approvals per region
Automatically monitor deploy announcements across Slack channels used for scheduling. Get scheduled approval requests when deploy messages are posted, region data is detected, or QA mentions appear—so you can publish regional timelines, request approvals, and store metadata without manual coordination.
How this automation speeds up regional approvals
When new messages are posted to the deploy channel, manual timeline building and approval chasing can delay launches. This automation formats deploy details and normalizes region timestamps, saves approval metadata, and schedules Slack approval requests—so your team can coordinate validations on schedule.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
