slamback

AWS Lambda function to post message/artifact from CodePipeline to a Slack! channel.

Why do you need this

AWS CodePipelineis a must-to-use continuous delivery service .

This simple AWS Lambda function can be invoked at any stage of your Pipeline to send a message to a slack channel, or to post the artifact built from AWS CodeBuild

How to use

Create a Slack token

1. Create a new Slack app
2. Add a bot user
3. Go on OAuth & Permissions, and select "Install app to team" under "OAuth Tokens & Redirect URLs"
4. Your token is Bot User OAuth Access Token

Create the Lambda function

As simple as using CloudFormation: ](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home?region=us-east-1#/stacks/new?stackName=slamback-stack&templateURL=https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/slamback-release/aws_stack.json).

Put the Slack! token in the required parameter.

How to use

In any pipeline stage, add an AWS Lambda action. Slamback is configured with UserParams:'

{
  "slackChan":"The channe where the message is posted", 
  "message":"The message to post.", 
  "slackToken":"This will override the token set during the installation", 
  "artifact":"The name of the artifact to deploy in S3"
}

Limitations

This is still in progress. I'm adding functionalities as needed. Current limitations are

• CodeDeploy must be configured to build artifacts without path
• Only 1 artifact can be published somewhere to S3
