`SLACK_LINK_NAMES` not working
ndom91 opened this issue · 5 comments
Hey so i saw recently this new env var was added to automention usernames in slack, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a few variations, none of which work.
I set SLACK_LINK_NAMES: true
.
Then, in one SLACK_MESSAGE
I have, PR by <@{{ github.action}}>
which doesn't get linked, just prints the text PR by @ndom91
, for example.
In another SLACK_MESSAGE
I have the username explicitly written out, i.e. PR by @engineering-team
which also doesn't seem to get linked.
Am I missing something?
Please refer: #93 (comment)
In general with SLACK_LINK_NAMES: true
, you will be able to use @here
, @channel
etc. For tagging a user, you will have to refer the comment mentioned above and use their ids to tag them.
Yeah I thought SLACK_LINK_NAMES went around having to get the userId. No?
Then quick question, I know its not related to this plugin per se, but do slack groups/teams have ids? Or just users?
Groups/teams also have ids, check the point 3 here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/44883343/13402747
I need to know the user id from github.event so I get automatically at workflow config file, do you know @mrrobot47 ?
