Port Initiatives Sender GitHub Action

Port is an open internal developer portal. The portal contains valuable data about standards and compliance (in the form of scorecards or initiatives) about software catalog entities, such as the production readiness (scorecard) of a microservice (an entity).

This action will allow you to automatically send reports and reminders with regard to initiatives or scorecards, letting managers and developers know what standards need to be met that are relevant to them.

Pre-requisites

Find your Port credentials To find your Port API credentials go to Port, hover on the 3 dots button at the top right corner, select Credentials and then you will be able to view and copy your CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET:

Slack

Setting up a slack webhook Head to your Slack apps page and create a new app (or select one of your existing apps). Then, go to the Incoming Webhooks page and create a new webhook, specifying the target channel on your server where messages that are sent to the slack webhook will be transferred.
