Slack release BOT

Announce project releases into your Slack channels, like the one below:

Usage

Pre-requisites

Add a Slack webhook URL into your secrets (We, Homeday, have an application in Slack called Release BOT which has all the webhooks).

Inputs

• webhook_url (required): the Slack webhook URL that will be in your secrets.
• title (required): the bold title to be used in the top of the message. From the example above: v17.0.3 (2021-06-01).
• body (required): the message that describes the release. It will use Slack markdown so you might need to Slackify it first, see the examples below.
• context (required): the application that is being released. From the example above: Homeday Blocks.

Example
