Could we have some usage examples for "approval required notification" in slack orb? about circleci-orbs HOT 7 CLOSED

A little late response, but it's just like any other job in a workflow:

workflows:
  "Verify component":
    jobs:
      -test
      -integration-test
      - slack/approval-notification:
          webhook: https://MYHOOK
          message: "Deploy pending approval: https://circleci.com/workflow-run/$CIRCLE_WORKFLOW_ID"
          requires:
            - test
            - integration-test

Hi @stig - I just tried this out yesterday with the hello-build orb - Can you post your config minus any sensitive information such as slack user ID? Not sure if this helps but posting just in case:

orbs:
    hello: circleci/[email protected] # uses the circleci/buildpack-deps Docker image
    slack: circleci/[email protected]
workflows:
    "Hello Workflow":
        jobs:
          - hello/hello-build
          - slack/approval-notification:
              mentions: 'U<this is your slack user ID>M'
              webhook: $SLACK_WEBHOOK```

@jkzilla thank you for your comment. I can see how that works, because neither of the two jobs depends on anything. I want to make the approval notification only trigger if hello-build passes, and I cannot see how to do that.

@tommybo-entur thank you. I'll give that a try. It is not at all clear from my reading of the documentation that it will work, because requires: is not listed as a key you can use, and there are no examples in the documentation. (At least there were none when I created this ticket 😄 )

Hi @stig,

@tommybo-entur example should work. requires is a standard CircleCI workflows key. It's not specific to orbs but to any CircleCI job. https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/configuration-reference/#workflows

Could you let us know if it works for you?

@felicianotech it does work! 🎉

Could this be documented? It's not clear to me that it would work, since slack/status and slack/notify jobs/commands do not accept standard arguments (like name:, command:, when: etc.)

Hello all,

Closing this old issue as the slack orb can be found here: https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/slack-orb/issues

We will soon be considering large scale changes to the slack orb to increase the amount of customizability and improving the documentation. More to come soon.
