# Notify Slack on changes

This GitHub Action sends a rich-text notification to your Slack channel when there's a new release in your GitHub repository.

We use [mack](https://github.com/tryfabric/mack)  to render the body of the release as Slack blocks.



# Usage

## Instructions

- [Create a Slack app](https://api.slack.com/apps/new) called "Release Bot"

- Click **Incoming Webhooks** and toggle **Activate Incoming Webhooks**

- Click **Add New Webhook to Workspace**

- Pick the channel the app will post to and then click **Authorize**

- Set your `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` to the Webhook URL

- Create a workflow file

```yaml

  release:

    types:
