on GitHub

What's changed

Here's take two for what's hoping to become slackapi/slack-github-action@v2 from the v2-development branch 🎬

The release includes numerous and significant breaking changes for all techniques, and for now we recommend reading the README.md to discover what's changed for the techniques you're using. A more detailed migration guide will soon follow! 📚

More details for those planning to experiment

A problem with the packaged and tagged release was fixed and this GitHub Action is in a more readied state for experimentation!

To use this GitHub step in a GitHub workflow, please check that you're using this release candidate:

  uses: slackapi/slack-github-action@v2.0.0-rc.2

Changes required to make existing workflows work are suggested in the README.md. But for those wanting a sneak peak, posting a message using a bot token is now done with patterns like so:

- name: Post to a Slack channel
  uses: slackapi/slack-github-action@v2.0.0-rc.2
  with:
    method: chat.postMessage
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}
    payload: |
      channel: ${{ secrets.SLACK_CHANNEL_ID }}
      text: "howdy <@channel>!"
