Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on a project where I’d like to integrate CircleCI with Slack for build notifications. Ideally, I want the notifications in Slack to mention the specific user whose commit triggered the build.
From my understanding, the slack-id-lookup orb can be used to map Git commit emails to Slack IDs, assuming there’s a consistent match between Git emails and Slack emails. However, my challenge lies in mapping the CircleCI usernames (which often are GitHub/Bitbucket usernames) to Slack usernames.
Some points to consider:
- Not every developer uses their work email for their Git commits, leading to potential mismatches.
- I’m looking for an approach that requires minimal manual mapping or maintenance, given that our team may grow or change over time.
Has anyone tackled a similar challenge? I’d appreciate any insights, approaches, or tools you might recommend to make this mapping process smoother.
Thank you in advance for your help !
