Arguments

By default, the GitHub action will send a notificaction with the event informations. Providing the arguments will override the message.

Environment variables can be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) :

e.g.: Action called : {{ GITHUB_ACTION }}

Event Payload data can also be interpolated in the message using brackets ({{ and }}) with the EVENT_PAYLOAD variable.

e.g.: Action called: {{ GITHUB_ACTION }} as {{ EVENT_PAYLOAD.pull_request.id }}

See the event types for valid payload informations.
