The Heroku integration records build and release events from your Heroku apps as pulses in Rootly, so responders can correlate deployments with incidents directly on the incident timeline. If an incident starts shortly after a release, the pulse feed makes that connection obvious. Rootly will automatically add the following Heroku events as pulses:
  • A build starts
  • A build ends ( Failed or succeeded )
  • A release is deployed
  • More to come…

Heroku integration

How it works

Once connected via OAuth, Rootly creates webhooks on the Heroku apps you list in the integration settings and ingests their build and release events. Each pulse includes context like the commit SHA and the user who triggered the build, and pulses are automatically linked to Rootly services with a matching Heroku App Name field — set this field on each service you want correlated with deployments. Only explicitly listed apps are monitored, so you control exactly which deployment activity shows up in Rootly. Beyond pulses, the integration also provides a Run Command on Heroku workflow action that executes one-off commands on a dyno — useful for rollbacks or diagnostic scripts mid-incident — and posts the output to Slack.
