I would like to add a Discord notification system with GitHub Actions, to notify others about new releases I publish on the repository.

I use rjstone/discord-webhook-notify for this.

The thing now is, that I want to display details from the release within the webhook message.

I know that there are placeholders for several things, but I’m unable to find any kind of cheatsheet to see what placeholders are available for what values.

Like I mentioned do I trigger this action on a Release, meaning I want to receive the title, version tag and description of said release, to use.

Here’s my current workflow I setup:

name: Publication task
on:

release:

types: [published]

branches:

- master
jobs:

publish:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v1

- name: Set up JDK 1.8

uses: actions/setup-java@v1

with:

java-version: 1.8

- name: Publish (Bintray) # Used to publish to bintray.

env:

bintrayUser: ${{ secrets.bintrayUsername }}

bintrayApiKey: ${{ secrets.bintrayApiKey }}

BUILD_NUMBER: 0 # Releases are always major.minor.revision_0

run: ./gradlew bintrayUpload

sendMessage: # This is the notification task I want to use.

if: success()

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- name: Discord notification

uses: rjstone/discord-webhook-notify@v1.0.2

with:

webhookUrl: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK }}

severity: info

username: New release

description: ' Release Information'
