Inputs

name	description	required	default
repo_token	You must manually pass in secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN	yes	—
slack_webhook_url	Slack Incoming Webhook URL. Provide either this or `slack_bot_token` (not both). Recommended source: a repository secret named `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` referenced from your workflow.	no	—
slack_bot_token	Slack Bot User OAuth Token (`xoxb-…`) for posting via the Web API. Provide either this or `slack_webhook_url` (not both). When set, `channel` is required. The Slack app needs `chat:write` (and `chat:write.public` to post in channels the bot isn't a member of). Falls back to the `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` env var when this input is empty.	no	—
channel	Where to post the notification. With `slack_webhook_url`, overrides the default channel attached to the webhook (workspace permitting). With `slack_bot_token`, this is required and accepts a channel name (`#release`), channel ID (`C0123…`), or user ID (`U0123…`) for DMs.	no	—
name	Override the default name configured by the Slack SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL	no	—
