Sends a Discord notification message. Simple as that. Supports all workflow event types by using the Discord GitHub webhooks.

Appearance on Discord :

This GitHub action is part of a list of Actions that are located in an other repo. Feel free to check it out : https://github.com/Ilshidur/actions.

As this Action is containerized with Docker, it can only run on Linux environments.

Docker container actions can only execute in the GitHub-hosted Linux environment. Self-hosted runners must use a Linux operating system and have Docker installed to run Docker container actions. For more information about the requirements of self-hosted runners, see "About self-hosted runners."

- name: Discord notification
  env:
    DISCORD_WEBHOOK: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}
  uses: Ilshidur/action-discord@master
  with:
    args: 'The project {{ EVENT_PAYLOAD.repository.full_name }} has been deployed.'

NOTICE : for stability purposes, it is recommended to use the action with an explicit commit SHA-1 :

• Version : uses: "Ilshidur/action-discord@0.3.2" (→ link to the releases list : https://github.com/Ilshidur/action-discord/releases)
• Commit SHA-1 : uses: "Ilshidur/action-discord@0c4b27844ba47cb1c7bee539c8eead5284ce9fa9" (→ link to the commits list : https://github.com/Ilshidur/action-discord/commits/master)

By default, the GitHub action will send a notificaction with the event informations. Providing the arguments will override the message.

Environment variables can be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) :

e.g.: Action called : {{ GITHUB_ACTION }}

Event Payload data can also be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) with the EVENT_PAYLOAD variable.

e.g.: Action called: {{ GITHUB_ACTION }} as {{ EVENT_PAYLOAD.pull_request.id }}

See the event types for valid payload informations.
