post-slack-message

Posts a message to Slack.

- name: Post to Slack
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: "Started a new build 🏃‍♀️"
    op-slack-token-reference: op://My Vault/My Slack Token/token

The action will automatically add the following details to the Slack message:

• Workflow name
• Runner name
• Branch name
• GitHub username of the person who started the job
• Link to view the logs produced by the workflow

The details above can be omitted by setting the add-workflow-info-fields and add-view-logs-button inputs to false.

- name: Post to Slack
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: "Started a new build 🏃‍♀️"
    op-slack-token-reference: op://My Vault/My Slack Token/token
    add-workflow-info-fields: false
    add-view-logs-button: false

If you wish to only post to Slack if the jobs fails you can use the failure() status check function:

- name: Post Slack message on failure
  if: ${{ failure() }}
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: "Failed building project 💥"
    op-slack-token-reference: op://My Vault/My Slack Token/token

Similarly, you can have the action only post a message on success using the success() status check function:

- name: Post Slack message on success
  if: ${{ success() }}
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: "Successfully built project 🚀"
    op-slack-token-reference: op://My Vault/My Slack Token/token

Custom fields and buttons can be added to the message as shown below. The fields and buttons must be JSON encoded as GitHub Actions inputs do not support arrays.

- name: Post to Slack
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: Hello world!
    fields: '[{"title": "Foo", "value": "Bar"}]'
    buttons: '[{"title": "Open Website", "url": "https://example.com"}]'
    op-slack-token-reference: op://GitHub Actions/Slack Token/token

You may use the Slack token residing in the shared GitHub Actions vault to post messages.

- name: Post to Slack
  uses: shapehq/actions/post-slack-message@v1
  with:
    channel: "#my-channel"
    message: "Hello world!"
