require 'capistrano/notify'

Default notifications

after :deploy - "#{application} was successfully deployed to #{deploy_stage}"
after "deploy:setup" - "#{application} was successfully prepared for deployment on #{deploy_stage}"
on :rollback - "There was a problem with your deploy to #{application} #{deploy_stage}"
# you are using moonshine aren't you? :)
before "moonshine:apply" - "Moonshine is applying the #{fetch(:moonshine_manifest)} for #{fetch(:application)}."

Options

:notify_deploy_message - sets the message for when a deployment is complete.

set :notify_deploy_message, "Your deploy is now diamonds."

:notify_rollback_message - sets the message for when a deploy fails and roll back (default: app name deploy failed1111)
