Is there deployment trigger for teamcity?

Question

I know there are build triggers. But do deployment triggers exist in team city? I googled quite a bit and looked at the doc and cannot seem to find it. I basically want custom code to check few things before deploying. But it needs to happen from team city's deploy page.

You should be able to do this by adding a Build, Snapshot, or Artifact dependency. I'm guessing you want a snapshot dependency;

A snapshot dependency is a dependency between two build configurations that allows launching builds from both build configurations in a specific order and ensure they use the same sources snapshot (sources revisions correspond to the same moment).

When you have a number of build configurations interconnected by snapshot dependencies, they form a build chain.

You can then put your tests into that target (or another one in the chain) depending upon your needs. There's really too much to put into a brief answer here. It's best if you read the complete documentation.
