Slack Notifier for Pipeline Status Changes?

Hello, I see seven Slack-related extensions on the AzDO Marketplace, in various stages of maintenance and some with hard-to-discern feature differences.

 

For now, I just want notifications when build status changes. For instance, I want notifications when:

  • Build status goes from failure to success
  • Build status goes from success to failure

As far as I can tell, some of the Slack extensions on Marketplace just let you send a message but don't have any smarts surrounding state changes.

 

What's my best bet?

 

Thanks,

Jamie

    I would suggest Azure Pipelines Slack app:

     

    • Build completions
    • Stage state changes
    • Release deployments
    • Approval requests

    However, by default, it doesn’t distinguish between success and failure. You’ll need to manually configure your subscriptions to filter for specific status changes:

    • Build failed → success
    • Build success → failed

    This granularity is possible by customizing the subscription settings in Slack after using the /azpipelines subscribe command.
