    TL;DR: Document your process for everything and get it physically/ digitally signed, especially by the higher-ups.

    Last time i had this happen i did the following:

    *Monday comes*
    Dev: "Hey I'm seeing the behavior we were experiencing is still there. Was the deployment successful last Friday?"

    Me: "nothing ever went out... we didnt have any changes to deploy"

    Dev: "I sent you the zip file via this email!"

    Me: "We don't accept zip files over email"

    Dev: "what? What do you... (the usual stuff... 'you can't do this', 'we've always done it like this', 'I'm going to have a talk with your manager' etc...)"

    Me: "There are written procedures signed off by your team and mine. Failure to comply with these procedures leaves the matter out of my hands; if you'd like to change the procedures, please speak with [my boss] and [his boss' boss]"

    Dev: "... here's the repo release link"

    Me: "thank you"
