app-slack - NOT YET READY FOR USE

WARNING: This is an experimental Jenkins X Labs project, it is likely to have significant change and APIs may break while we gather feedback and aim to get it into an alpha state.

The Slack app for Jenkins X provides integration with Jenkins X and Slack, originally authored at CloudBees by Pete Muir

Features

Sends a message when a build starts on any of the projects inside the cluster updating the message in real time as your pipeline progresses. Works for both pipelines and releases. Can be a DM or to a room.
Sends a message when a Pull Request is created, CC'ing the reviewers allocated and updates the message as the PR gets approved/merged. Can be a DM or to a room. Message gets updated as PR status changes (e.g. builds passing, merged etc.)

Future ideas

Can be configured to send failure messages when release pipelines fail
Integrate with traceability

Feedback

Got any great ideas we can add to the Slack App? If so Raise a issue here
