@channel Slack notification in Jenkins post-build action

I am integrating a Slack bot in Jenkins post-build action. I have been able to send notification and create custom messages using the Slack plugin, however I wanted to send a @channel or @bot in the bot message which can be used to urgently notify the team.

Is there any existing way/hack to do this? Unfortunately, using these keywords via the plugin just result in them being rendered as plain text, without any broadcast action.

Solution

  • To mention someone or a channel you can use one of the following syntax:

    • <!channel>
    • <!group>
    • <!here>
    • <!everyone>
    • <@USERID>
    • <#CHANNELID>
