SaFi Bank Space : Slack Notification from Github Action

Created by Farah Nabilah, last modified by Desi Ramadhani on Jun 27, 2022

Slack channel notifications can be used to monitor the status of a github action, whether it is successful, failed or there is a warning.

  1. Getting Slack webhook URL

    • Create a slack channel to receive the notification

    • Create a Slack App https://api.slack.com/apps called Integration Test

    • Activate Incoming Webhook

    • Add New webhook to workspace

    • Select the slack channel

    • Get the webhook url

  2. notify-slack-action

    • In the last step of github action workflow, add step called Report Status with following:

jobs:
...
...
...
  integrate:
  ...
  ...
  ...
      - name: Report Status To Slack Channel
        uses: ravsamhq/notify-slack-action@v1
        if: always()
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
          token: "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"
          notification_title: "{workflow} has {status_message}"
          message_format: "{emoji} *{workflow}* {status_message} in <{repo_url}|{repo}@{branch}> on <{commit_url}|{commit_sha}>"
          footer: "Linked Repo <{repo_url}|{repo}> | <{workflow_url}|View Workflow>"
          notify_when: "success,failure,warnings"
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/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"
          
  firebase:
  ...
  ...
  ...
      - name: Report Status To Slack Channel
        uses: ravsamhq/notify-slack-action@v1
        if: always()
        with:
          status: ${{ job.status }}
          token: "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"
          notification_title: "{workflow} has {status_message}"
          message_format: "{emoji} *{workflow}* {status_message} in <{repo_url}|{repo}@{branch}> on <{commit_url}|{commit_sha}>"
          footer: "Linked Repo <{repo_url}|{repo}> | <{workflow_url}|View Workflow>"
          notify_when: "success,failure,warnings"
        env:
          SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/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"

we can add other variable based on this documentation. For the SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL use from the webhook that was created in the first step.
