📢 Action: Slack Notification

Send beautifully formatted test summaries, environment status, and high-fidelity alerts to your team's Slack channels.

---

[!NOTE] The Slack Notification action bridges the gap between CI execution and team awareness. It crafts aesthetic, color-coded payloads (Green/Red) injected with deep-links to failing runs, accelerating the time-to-resolution for pipeline blockages.

🚀 Key Impact

• 🎨 High-Fidelity Layouts: Delivers rich Slack attachments with status-colored sidebars (Success: Green, Failure: Red).
• 📊 Run Intelligence: Automatically includes deep links to the specific GitHub Action run for surgical debugging.
• 🛠️ Configurable Summaries: Injects custom test metrics or context-specific summaries into every notification.
• 🦾 Automation Focused: Designed to run in the always() hook to ensure visibility regardless of job outcome.
