Gitlab for Slack - deployments

Hi, I am using GitLab cloud with Slack integration (Gitlab for Slack). I have configured CI/CD to test, build and deploy my app. I would like to receive notification on a dedicated Slack channel whenever manual deployment is made as a part of my pipeline. I have enabled the option “A deployment is started or finished”, specified Slack channel (GitLab bot is there) but nothing shows when I run a deployment. All other messaging comes in without issues, push, merge, build phases on separate channels. Do I understand it correctly, that deploy stage in .gitlab-ci.yaml file should trigger message on Slack?
