Creating Slack bot
follow this guide to create a slack app and bot
https://slack.com/intl/en-in/help/articles/115005265703-Create-a-bot-for-your-workspace
Don't forget to install this bot/app to your workspace and then add it in your slack channel.
Getting action token and saving it to github repo
Since slack token is sensitive info, so don't save it in your yaml file instead save it in github secrets.

Getting token
- Open your App on Slack, https://api.slack.com/apps/
- Click on "OAuth & Permissions" > "Bot User OAuth Access Token"
- Copy the Bot User OAuth Access Token
Save Token to your github repo
- Open your Github Repo
- Click on "Settings" > "Secrets"
- Create a new repository secret called YOUR_APP_NAME_BOT_AUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN (you can name your token whatever you want),
  and then paste the value of Bot User OAuth Access Token.
- Done
