Fastlane slack_bot plugin

About slack_bot

A fastlane plugin to post slack message using bot api token. 🚀 Note: Fastlane comes with slack plugin by default, which uses slack webhook url, which can't send direct message & other limitations.

Getting Started

1. Generate Slack token for Fastlane bot

   • From your Slack organization page, go to Manage -> Custom Integrations
   • Open Bots
   • Add Configuration
   • Choose a name for your bot, e.g. "fastlane"
   • Save API Token

2. Add plugin in your project

fastlane add_plugin slack_bot

If you are using fastlane using Gemfile in your project, add it to your project by running:

bundle exec fastlane add_plugin slack_bot 

1. Add slack_bot to your lane in Fastfile whenever you want to post a slack message

In the following example lets send slack message to #ios-team channel for test-flight build.

lane :beta do
  gym # Build the app and create .ipa file
  pilot # Upload build to TestFlight

  version_number = get_version_number # Get project version
  build_number = get_build_number # Get build number
  beta_release_name = "#{version_number}-#{build_number}-beta-release"

  # share on Slack
  post_to_slack(
    api_token: "xyz", # Preferably configure as ENV['SLACK_API_TOKEN']
    message: "Hi team, we have a new test-flight beta build: #{beta_release_name}",
    channel: "#ios-team"
  )
end
