DeploymentBot

Deployment

• Deployment done by Deploybot

• We had a Bot to allow non-technical people to trigger a deploy from Basecamp Campfire.

• This bot 🤖 was hosted on google script.

• A payload was sent from basecamp to trigger the deployment on development (by default) or on master.

• The bot is not very talkative right now. it just listens and acts as soon as the request is received.

• We use deploybot as a deployment platform, to compile the hugo static website and push it to the appropriate environment.

The bot was configured to call the public address of this Google Script 👍
