It automates the process, ensuring that relevant stakeholders receive immediate updates in Slack, thus improving communication efficiency and reducing the chances of missed notifications.

    Workflow Steps

    2. GitHub Trigger: It listens for release events from the repository mda-admin-partner-api owned by Mesdocteurs.

    - The repository's full name
    - The release's tag name
    - A brief description of the release
    - A link to the release in GitHub.
    4. Message Delivery: The constructed message is sent to the Slack channel extranet-md, ensuring all relevant team members are informed instantly.
