I have a pipeline on azure DevOps that creates and publishes an artifact (releasenotes.txt).

It also has integration with Slack using ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/integrations/slack?view=azure-devops ) .

How can i send releasenotes.txt to Slack? is it possible?

How can i send releasenotes.txt to Slack? is it possible?

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I am afraid this is impossible to send releasenotes.txt file to Slack from Azure devops.

According to the Official document Azure Pipelines with Slack, we could to know:

If you use Slack, you can use the Azure Pipelines app for Slack to easily monitor the events for your pipelines. Set up and manage subscriptions for builds, releases, YAML pipelines, pending approvals and more from the app and get notifications for these events in your Slack channels.

In addition, if you check the extension Slack Integration, we can find the description:

Slack is a messaging app for teams that makes their working lives simpler, more pleasant, and more productive.

Slack is a popular team collaboration service that helps teams be more productive by keeping all communications in one place and easily searchable from virtually anywhere.

So, Azure DevOps pipeline in the Slack is most used to receive notifications instead of the build pipeline itself.

On the other hand, if we frequently use the channel between Slack and Azure devops to transfer a large file (as opposed to notifications), this channel may be under high load, causing Slack to delay receiving other notifications, this is contrary to our original intention of integrating the azure pipeline together.

Hope this helps.
