How to notify Slack for AWS CodePipeline

May 8, 2024

To notify Slack for AWS CodePipeline, create a notification rule for the pipeline, selecting all events and Slack as the target. Register the Slack channel as a target and configure a new chatbot client. After authorizing Slack, specify the Slack channel to connect to, set the chatbot's privileges, and establish guard rules. With read-only access for both allowed rules and guard conditions, the pipeline can trigger notifications to the Slack channel.

First I created a notification rule for my pipeline.

Rule creation would require a name ( obviously ) and events that should be notified and a target system that the notification should send.

Since I would prefer to receive all the events, I choose all and Slack as the target.

Since my newly created Slack channel is not yet registered as a target I attempted target creation.

Not it is time for me to configure the chatbot. I create a new client.

AWS offered me two options for the client Slack and AWS Chime, I proceed with Slack and it directed me to Slack for authorization for the Slack workspace.

Once I authorized, there are a few more additional configurations needed to do.

What Slack channel should be connected to? What sort of privileges I should allow to the chatbot and what are the guard rules I should create?

Since my only intention is to view what's going on with my CI/CD pipeline, I just set AWS read-only access for both allowed rule and guard conditions.

I triggered my pipeline and started to flood my channel with all the events.

The Importance of Competence Over Competition

The pursuit of success should focus on personal growth and competence rather than competition. The satisfaction derived from being better than others can lead to an unhealthy mindset. Instead, individuals should strive to reach their full potential, which requires a nurturing environment rather than a competitive one. By fostering a positive atmosphere, we can replace competition with competence and truly thrive.
