Set the resulting code as the value for your custom parameter.

- slack/notify:
    event: always
    custom: |
      {
        "blocks": [
          {
            "type": "section",
            "fields": [
              {
                "type": "plain_text",
                "text": "*This is a text notification*",
                "emoji": true
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }

Branch or Tag Filtering

Limit Slack notifications to particular branches with the "branch_pattern" or "tag_pattern" parameter.

A comma separated list of regex matchable branch or tag names. Notifications will only be sent if sent from a job from these branches/tags. By default ".+" will be used to match all branches/tags. Pattern must match the full string, no partial matches. Keep in mind that "branch_pattern" and "tag_pattern" are mutually exclusive.

See usage examples.
