The
@v3.0.0release had a hiccup on publish and we recommend using @v3.0.1 or a more recent version when updating! Oops!
🎽 Running Slack CLI commands and the active Node runtime, both included in this release 👟 ✨
⚠️ Breaking change: Node.js 24 the runtime
This major version updates the GitHub Actions required runtime to Node.js 24. Most GitHub-hosted runners already include this, but self-hosted runners may need to be updated ahead of planned deprecations of Node 20 on GitHub Actions runners.
📺 Enhancement: Run Slack CLI commands
This release introduces a new technique for running Slack CLI commands directly in GitHub Actions workflows. Use this to install the latest version (or a specific one) of the CLI and execute commands like deploy for merges to main, manifest validate with tests, and other commands.
Gather a token using the following CLI command to store with repo secrets, then get started with an example below:
$ slack auth token
🧪 Validate an app manifest on pull requests
Check that your app manifest is valid before merging changes:
- name: Validate the manifest
uses: slackapi/slack-github-action/cli@v3.0.0
with:
command: "manifest validate --app ${{ vars.SLACK_APP_ID }}"
token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_SERVICE_TOKEN }}🚀 Deploy your app on push to main
Automate deployments whenever changes land on your main branch:
- name: Deploy the app
uses: slackapi/slack-github-action/cli@v3.0.0
with:
command: "deploy --app ${{ vars.SLACK_APP_ID }} --force"
token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_SERVICE_TOKEN }}Any Slack CLI command can be passed through the command option without the "slack" prefix 🍀
The token input accepts a service token for authentication. You can gather this token by running slack auth token with the Slack CLI and storing the value as a repository secret.
The latest Slack CLI version is used by default, but a specific one can be set with the version input.
🏆 Huge thanks to @ewanek1 for explorations and prototypes toward the scripted CLI technique!
