Slack orb using template from a seperate file
second email
Im just trying to run circle ci with custom Slack notifications,
Like
version: '2.1'
orbs:
slack: circleci/slack@4.1
jobs:
notify:
docker:
- image: 'cimg/base:stable'
steps:
- slack/notify:
custom: |
{
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"fields": [
{
"type": "plain_text",
"text": "*This is a text notification*",
"emoji": true
}
]
}
]
}
event: always
workflows:
send-notification:
jobs:
- notify:
context: slack-secrets
From offical docs example,
is there a way I can put a template in a seperate file and reference it?

Hello! You can indeed use files, the trick is to reference them as environment variables. The Wiki page for the orb references two examples that go further:
- https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/slack-orb/wiki/Reuse-Custom-Templates
- https://github.com/CircleCI-Public/slack-orb/wiki/Dynamic-Templates
In that first example, you can save the template in contexts so that you can use them in any project on CircleCI.
If you just want a straight file example, the second link will do it.
echo 'export MY_ORB_TEMPLATE=$(cat /tmp/MyOrbName/SlackTemplate.json)' >> $BASH_ENV
- slack/notify:
event: fail
template: MY_ORB_TEMPLATE
channel: ABCXYZ
