Better Sol deploys Solana programs with one command, but a failed deploy — wrong network, insufficient SOL balance, program size limit — can sit unnoticed for hours if you rely on email notifications. This workflow monitors your GitHub Actions deploy pipeline and fires a Slack message to your engineering channel the moment a Better Sol deploy step fails, including the error log snippet and a direct link to the failing run.
In your GitHub Actions deploy workflow, add an 'on failure' step at the end of the Better Sol deploy job.
Use the GitHub Actions Slack notification action (or a webhook step) to send a payload on failure.
Include in the payload: the failing job name, the first 20 lines of error output, and the Actions run URL.
In your Slack workspace, create or identify the #deployments channel to receive alerts.
Configure the GitHub → Slack connection using a Slack incoming webhook URL stored as a GitHub secret.
Simulate a failure by intentionally misconfiguring the deploy command and confirm the Slack alert arrives within 60 seconds.
