🚀 Slack for GitHub Actions

Sends a Slack notification. Simple as that.

Appearance on Slack :

This GitHub action is part of a list of Actions that are located in an other repo. Feel free to check it out : https://github.com/Ilshidur/actions.

Usage

action "Slack notification" {
  uses = "Ilshidur/action-slack@master"
  secrets = ["SLACK_WEBHOOK"]
  args = "A new commit has been pushed."
}

NOTICE : for stability purposes, it is recommended to use the action with an explicit commit SHA-1 :

uses = "Ilshidur/action-slack@e820f54" (=> link to the commits list : https://github.com/Ilshidur/action-slack/commits/master)

The argument is the message to display in the Slack notification.

Environment variables can be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) :

e.g.: Action called : {{ GITHUB_ACTION }}

Note : be careful to properly format your messages for Slack.

Event Payload data can also be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) with the EVENT_PAYLOAD variable.

e.g.: Action called: {{ GITHUB_ACTION }} as {{ EVENT_PAYLOAD.pull_request.id }}

See the event types for valid payload information

SLACK_CHANNEL (optional) : overrides the default channel of the webhook.
SLACK_OVERRIDE_MESSAGE (optional boolean, defaults to nothing) : set to true to remove the first line of the message (Ilshidur/nicolas-coutin.fr/Deployment triggered by Ilshidur (push) :). Any other value will override the message set in the args of this Action.

SLACK_WEBHOOK: the Slack webhook URL (required, see https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks).
That's all.

Because open source is about everyone :
