Slack Notify - GitHub Action

A GitHub Action to send a message to a Slack channel.

Usage

You can use this action after any other action. Here is an example setup of this action:

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

on: push
name: Notify Slack Demo
jobs:
  slackNotification:
    name: Notify Slack
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Notify Slack
      uses: pmagentur/pm_slack_notifier@v0.1
      env:
        SLACK_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }}

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