Introduction

Quicksilver hooks into platform workflows to automate your Pantheon WebOps workflow. This allows the platform to run selected scripts automatically every hour, or when a team member triggers the corresponding workflow. There is a growing set of example scripts available for review and contributions. Several scripts enable additional functionality, including:

• Chat-ops
• Database sanitization
• Deployment logging
• Automated testing operations with a CI server

WebOps Workflow and Stage

You can specify the workflows you want to hook into, for example, deploy or sync_code. You can also specify the workflow stage (before or after) and the location of the script relative to the root of your site's docroot.

The adapted slack_notification example below provides steps to post to Slack every time you deploy.

1. Commit a pantheon.yml file with the following content:

   pantheon.yml

   api_version: 1
   
   workflows:
     deploy:
       after:
         - type: webphp
           description: Post deployment notification to Slack
           script: private/scripts/slack_deploy_notification.php

2. Add the code below if you want the script to automatically log the deployment to New Relic:

   pantheon.yml

         - type: webphp
           description: Log to New Relic
           script: private/scripts/new_relic_deploy.php
