Slack notification

Slack-Notify is a very simple tool for sending a Slack notification via a Slack Incoming Webhook.

It is designed to function as a 12-factor app, receiving configuration via environment variables. To keep things simple, it is rigid in what it allows you to set. More complex slackbots might want to customize this a little more.

Slack Incoming Webhooks

This tool uses Slack Incoming Webhooks to send a message to your slack channel.

Before you can use this tool, you need to log into your Slack account and configure this.

Please note, this is a legacy custom integration - an outdated way for teams to integrate with Slack. These integrations lack newer features and they will be deprecated and possibly removed in the future. We do not recommend their use. Instead, we suggest that you check out their replacement: Slack apps.

Setup

You may to setup variables via CI/CD variables
