Templates

Notification templates can be customized to leverage slack message blocks and attachments feature.

Slack - 图6

The message blocks and attachments can be specified in blocks and attachments string fields under slack field:

  1. template.app-sync-status: |
  2.   message: |
  3.     Application {{.app.metadata.name}} sync is {{.app.status.sync.status}}.
  4.     Application details: {{.context.argocdUrl}}/applications/{{.app.metadata.name}}.
  5.   slack:
  6.     attachments: |
  7.       [{
  8.         "title": "{{.app.metadata.name}}",
  9.         "title_link": "{{.context.argocdUrl}}/applications/{{.app.metadata.name}}",
  10.         "color": "#18be52",
  11.         "fields": [{
  12.           "title": "Sync Status",
  13.           "value": "{{.app.status.sync.status}}",
  14.           "short": true
  15.         }, {
  16.           "title": "Repository",
  17.           "value": "{{.app.spec.source.repoURL}}",
  18.           "short": true
  19.         }]
  20.       }]

The messages can be aggregated to the slack threads by grouping key which can be specified in a groupingKey string field under slack field. groupingKey is used across each template and works independently on each slack channel. When multiple applications will be updated at the same time or frequently, the messages in slack channel can be easily read by aggregating with git commit hash, application name, etc. Furthermore, the messages can be broadcast to the channel at the specific template by notifyBroadcast field.

  1. template.app-sync-status: |
  2.   message: |
  3.     Application {{.app.metadata.name}} sync is {{.app.status.sync.status}}.
  4.     Application details: {{.context.argocdUrl}}/applications/{{.app.metadata.name}}.
  5.   slack:
  6.     attachments: |
  7.       [{
  8.         "title": "{{.app.metadata.name}}",

  18.           "short": true
  19.         }]

  23.     notifyBroadcast: false
  24. template.app-sync-failed: |
  25.   message: |
  26.     Application {{.app.metadata.name}} sync is {{.app.status.sync.status}}.

  38.         }, {
  39.           "title": "Repository",
  40.           "value": "{{.app.spec.source.repoURL}}",
  41.           "short": true
  42.         }]
  43.       }]
  44.     # Aggregate the messages to the thread by git commit hash
  45.     groupingKey: "{{.app.status.sync.revision}}"
  46.     notifyBroadcast: true

The message is sent according to the deliveryPolicy string field under the slack field. The available modes are Post (default), PostAndUpdate, and Update. The PostAndUpdate and Update settings require groupingKey to be set.
