Multiple Jobs

Coordinate notifications across multiple jobs in your workflow. Send a single consolidated notification after all jobs complete, or notify at each stage.

Notify Based on Specific Job Status

Check the result of a specific job:

.github/workflows/ci.yml


jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Build
        run: npm run build
  
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    steps:
      - name: Test
        run: npm test
  
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: test
    if: success()
    steps:
      - name: Deploy
        run: ./deploy.sh
  
  notify:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build, test, deploy]
    if: always()
    steps:
      - name: Notify based on deployment
        uses: michaelikoko/workflow-blabber@v1
        with:
          channels: 'slack'
          status: ${{ needs.deploy.result }}  # Use deploy job status
          slack_webhook_url: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }}

Notify Only on Any Failure

.github/workflows/ci.yml


jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Build
        run: npm run build
  
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    steps:
      - name: Test
        run: npm test
  
  notify-failure:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: [build, test]
    if: failure()  # Only runs if any job failed
    steps:
      - name: Alert on failure
        uses: michaelikoko/workflow-blabber@v1
        with:
          channels: 'email,telegram'
          status: 'failure'
          custom_message: 'Pipeline failed - check workflow logs'
          smtp_host: 'smtp.gmail.com'
          smtp_port: '587'
          smtp_user: ${{ secrets.SMTP_USER }}
          smtp_password: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PASSWORD }}
          recipient_email: ${{ secrets.RECIPIENT_EMAIL }}
          telegram_bot_token: ${{ secrets.TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN }}
          telegram_chat_id: ${{ secrets.TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID }}

Parallel Jobs with Consolidated Notification

Multiple independent jobs with one final notification:

.github/workflows/ci.yml

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Lint
        run: npm run lint
  
  unit-tests:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Unit tests
        run: npm run test:unit

    if: always()
    steps:
      - name: Pipeline complete
        uses: michaelikoko/workflow-blabber@v1
        with:
          channels: 'slack'

          custom_message: 'All checks completed'
          slack_webhook_url: ${{ secrets.SLACK_WEBHOOK }}
