A no-config GitHub action that notifies slack of the status of your GitHub actions

We currently support:

• pull_request
• release
• push (tags, commits)

All event messages will have these elements:

1. Build Indicator - Will be green for successful, red for failed, yellow for cancelled
2. Author Github Profile and User - This is also a link their profile page
3. Workflow Name - Also a link to the run
4. Repository Name - Also a link
5. Timestamp

1. Commit Hash - Also a link showing the changes between the base and ref
2. Pull Request Number and Title - Also a link to the Pull Request

1. Commit Hash - Also a link showing all changes in the release
2. Release Title - Also a link to the release and notes. If the release doesn't have a title the tag name will be used.

1. Commit Hash - Also a link showing all changes since this tag and master
2. Tag name - Also a link to the tag

1. Commit Hash - Also a link showing combined changes of all commits for the push
2. Head Commit name - Name of last commit in the batch (can push multiple commits). Also a link to that commit.

You can use this action after any other action, however I recommend you put it as the last one. Here is an example setup of this action for a pull request:

1. Create a .github/workflows/test.yml file in your GitHub repo.
2. Add the following code to the test.yml file.

name: Test

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - run: npm install
      - run: npm test

      - uses: iRoachie/[email protected]
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
        if: ${{ always() }}

3. Create SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL secret using GitHub Action's Secret. You can generate a Slack incoming webhook token from here.

Here's an example with jobs that run in parallel.

It does a few things:

• Lets us know when a status check didn't succeed (failure or cancel)
• If all jobs were successful, we'll send a message at the end

name: Test

on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  test:
    name: Jest
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - run: yarn
      - run: yarn test
      - uses: iRoachie/[email protected]
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
        if: ${{ !success() }}

  lint:
    name: Eslint
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - run: yarn
      - run: yarn lint
      - uses: iRoachie/[email protected]
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
        if: ${{ !success() }}

  notify:
    Name: Slack
    needs: [test, lint]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: iRoachie/[email protected]
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL }}
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
