Slack Desktop Pop-Up Notification Shows Incorrect Information

[davidgourde]

The information is correct on the notification itself (the message in the channel), but the pop-up notification is incorrect.

What is incorrect:

• The SLACK_ICON is not used. Instead, it shows a grey icon. It should show the SLACK_ICON.
• The sender is incorrect. It shows the SLACK_MSG_AUTHOR (GitHub user that pushed the commit/action) instead of the SLACK_USERNAME. This is a mistake, as we want to see the notification come from our bot, not from a random user.

Here is an example:

Here are the env variables I used to customize the notification:

uses: rtCamp/action-slack-notify@v2
env:
  SLACK_WEBHOOK: "something"
  SLACK_MESSAGE: "something"
  SLACK_TITLE: "something"
  SLACK_COLOR: "something"

  MSG_MINIMAL: commit,actions url
  SLACK_FOOTER: ""

The Pop-Up is generated by slack themselves and we have no control over what content from the message is displayed. This is a slack limitation beyond our control.
