Description
Add a job at the end of each workflow which only runs on failure to send a slack notitification.
Considerations
We had the following four options to choose from:
We opted for Option 4 to keep things simple and to increase signal-to-noise (alerts are actionable).
We have a further idea of having each action write some high-level results to a file/output, and have a wrapping action that collates them all and builds the slack payload. This will be a little complicated with matrix jobs.
