Setting up Slack Notifications with Jenkins

Setting up Slack notifications for build results with Jenkins is pretty simple. You’ll need the following:

To set up Slack, go to .slack.com/apps and search for Jenkins CI:

Add the configuration and set the desired channel where alerts will appear.

After this, you’ll see some directions on setting up Slack on the Jenkins side.

When you’ve finished the setup, make sure to test the connection – you should see a message in Slack like the following:

This example will call a successful message when all stages complete, and sends a failure message if the build as a whole fails.
