What is needed to mention works on Slack?

[lucianomlima]

Hi, I'm trying to setup slack mention action on github but I can't receive the messages in channel.
What my webhook need to do to action mention in a channel?
From the Workflow builder I can create a webhook workflow and choose the channel but I need to create a message text too and I don't know if I need to put a variable or not. Should I create an app intead?

Can you guide me ou show me an example?

I understand, I need to create an app instead of a workflow. I'm using for review request and request review from a team in github, does not mention an user group on slack. The problem is it's using a user mention instead of user group mention.

There are documentation related to this here:
https://api.slack.com/reference/surfaces/formatting#mentioning-groups

Should be modified from <@ID> to <!subteam^ID> to works.

It would also be great if it was possible to customize the message. If I can help, please let me know @abeyuya.

@lucianomlima Thank you for your interest in this library.

Should be modified from <@ID> to <!subteam^ID> to work.

Thanks for the info, I will consider updating the README.

It would also be great if it was possible to customize the message.

This is a very interesting feature. Specifically, do you want to customize the following message?

actions-mention-to-slack/src/main.ts

Line 76 in 96335df

const message = `<@${requestedSlackUserId}> has been requested to review <${url}|${title}> by ${requestUsername}.`;

actions-mention-to-slack/src/main.ts

Line 162 in 96335df

`<@${prOwnerSlackUserId}> has been approved <${info.url}|${info.title}> by ${approveOwner}.`,

I can open a pull request for the user group slack mention change.

Regarding the change in messages, what do you think of adding the messages in the action settings in the yml file?
