GitHub and Slack Integration

The GitHub and Slack integration connects software development activity from GitHub into Slack conversations. It is designed to drive discussions about development happening in Slack and connect Slack users to the GitHub ecosystem.

Key architectural constraints include:

• Utilizing only public platform features via GitHub Apps.
• Utilizing Workspace token-based Slack apps.
• Avoiding the duplication of features that belong natively to either GitHub or Slack.

The GitHub+Slack API allows you to post messages to Slack for a specific repository. These messages are delivered based on your existing subscriptions.

Warning: This API is experimental, subject to change without notice, and is not supported for production use.

curl -XPOST -H "Authorization: token $token" \
   https://slack.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo \
   -d "$message"

When using the GitHub+Slack API via curl, you must provide the following parameters:

• $token: A valid GitHub token (Personal Access Token, OAuth token, or GitHub App token) that has write access to the target :owner/:repo.
• :owner: The GitHub repository owner.
• :repo: The GitHub repository name.
• $message: One or more valid Slack attachments.

The integration provides notifications (activity alerts) and unfurls (rich link previews) for various GitHub entities.
