Custom mention

[take]

Hi thanks for implementing this 😄

Was wondering if we can change the mentions parameter based on the author.

I want to notify the user who has triggered the job :eyes:

Thanks,

I am also trying to implement this. Have you had any luck, @take?

[take]

nope :( @Supernats

I figured out how to hack this together and I have something working. I'll put up a gist in a bit.

@take here's a Gist showing what ended up working for me. I set up a context that sets one environment variable per team member.

The variables look like this:

"#{PREFIX}#{GITHUB_USERNAME}"

The values are the Slack UID.

I wrote a simple Ruby utility to let me map from them easily, because I didn't feel like messing with chained dereferencing in Bash. I hope this helps!

If @RajatGarg97 doesn't want this issue, I'm interested in taking a swing at it.
