The Slack plugin posts build status messages to your channel. The below pipeline configuration demonstrates simple usage:

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
    webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
    channel: dev

Example configuration with custom username:

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
    webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
    channel: dev
+   username: drone

Example configuration with custom avatar:

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
    webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
    channel: dev
+   icon_url: https://unsplash.it/256/256/?random

Example configuration with image attachment:

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
    webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
    channel: dev
+   image_url: https://unsplash.it/256/256/?random

Example configuration with a custom message template:

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
    webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
    channel: dev
+   template: |
+     {{ #success build.status }}
+       build {{ build.number }} succeeded. Good job.
+     {{ else }}
+       build {{ build.number }} failed. Fix me please.
+     {{ /success }}

Secrets

The Slack plugin supports reading credentials from the Drone secret store. This is strongly recommended instead of storing credentials in the pipeline configuration in plain text.

pipeline:
  slack:
    image: plugins/slack
-   webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/...

The above webhook Yaml attribute can be replaced with the SLACK_WEBHOOK secret environment variable. Please see the Drone documentation to learn more about secrets.
