Customize message

[codebynumbers]

It would be cool to allow for customizing the message a bit. Specifically I'd like to include the branch name. But maybe there are other tokens people would include or exclude.

[brianredbeard]

This would be especially helpful because while using certain other plugins (e.g. URLTrigger) pretty heinous messages are presented:
projectname - #121 [URLTrigger] A change within the response URL invocation (<a href="triggerCauseAction">log</a>)

I want this so bad, please.

[jimmcq]

I would like to see the message include a link to the build, and more details about the build such as the build summary (submitter, commit messages, etc.)

[munkyboy]

+1 for customizing the message. I would like to include a summary of the git changes.

[ghost]

I'd also love this for displaying the branch a given build was kicked from.

[Taytay]

+1 for displaying the branch name, or allowing customization somehow. Thanks for the plugin!

[mikewoodworth]

+1 for link to build summary page

[raffenet]

+1 this would be a big help.

[mcheriyath]

+1 for this feature
Any temporary workaround to achieve this?

[tusharsappal]

One can use the services of https://zapier.com/ to play with customization

[jdonaldson10]

+1 for this. Zapier can work but an out of the box solution would be super helpful

#30 provides more info in the build summary such as commits with the author (optional check box in advanced settings).

Also, from the last snapshot build a link is also included in the build message.

#25 provides the option to include the unit test summary of the build.

All of the above mentioned features will be released in slack-1.7.

Still missing

Including the branch name in the slack notifications.

Also, not sure how to provide better customization of the slack notifications.

Contributions are welcome.

I don't actively develop this plugin. I will be maintaining pull requests and releases from now on. Please feel free to contribute this feature!

[samrocketman]

Slack Plugin 1.7 has been released. A fix for this has been included in it. Please try out the new version and if it doesn't resolve this issue then ask for this to be re-opened and provide more details.

[samrocketman]

For the remaining requests I have opened a new issue. #49 is where those still interested can subscribe and put in more detail about how they want the feature to behave. As always, contributions are welcome because I will not be developing this feature.

[FaizVisram]

It would be great to be able to use a custom message; I, personally, want to be able to have a direct download link in Successful messages to specific build artifacts

[cchar]

I'd like to see it be able to 'mention' a person with the @username or @channel. I tried it in the custom message, but it doesn't come through as a mention, just plain text.

@cchar this issue is already closed. Please feel free to open a new issue so that it can be addressed or contributed as a feature.
