## 🏢 Organization-Wide Setup

Set up centralized Discord notifications across your entire organization so you don't have to repeat configuration in every repository.

### Quick Organization Setup

1. **Create Organization Secret**:

   - Go to your GitHub organization settings

   - Navigate to **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**

   - Create secret: `ORG_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL`

   - Set your Discord webhook URL

2. **Create Reusable Workflow** (in any repository):

   ```yaml

   # .github/workflows/org-discord-notify.yml

   name: Organization Discord Notify

   

   on:

     workflow_call:

       inputs:

         status:

           required: true

           type: string

         workflow:

           required: true

           type: string

         job:

           required: true

           type: string

   

   jobs:

     notify:

       runs-on: ubuntu-latest

       steps:

         - name: Send Discord Notification

           uses: Devlander-Software/discord-webhook-notifier-action@v1

           with:

             webhook: ${{ secrets.ORG_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL }}

             status: ${{ inputs.status }}

             workflow: ${{ inputs.workflow }}

             job: ${{ inputs.job }}

             repo: ${{ github.repository }}

             branch: ${{ github.ref_name }}

             commit: ${{ github.sha }}

             actor: ${{ github.actor }}

             run_url: ${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}

   ```

3. **Use in Any Repository**:

   ```yaml

   - name: Notify Discord

     uses: your-org/your-repo/.github/workflows/org-discord-notify.yml@main

     if: always()

     with:

       status: ${{ job.status }}

       workflow: ${{ github.workflow }}
