🚀 Discord for GitHub Actions

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.

Compatibility note

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."

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 }}) :

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.
