Problem to solve
We can able to send custom Slack messages with custom emoji or icon url.
I am not so sure whether there was a related issue about this, i just couldn't find anything related to this, both in the issues and API documentation.
User experience goal
To see custom profile picture for incoming Slack messages from GitLab API.
Proposal
We can add new params like icon_emoji and icon_url to slack service api
Documentation
https://custom.custom.com/api/v4/projects/0/services/slack
We can add these field within properties field.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| icon_emoji | string | false | an emoji code string to use in place of the default icon |
| icon_url | string | false | an icon image URL string to use in place of the default icon. |
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
Success will look like so cool when incoming Slack webhook messages come with the custom profile picture.
