Slack notification if any actions fail

For future reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58858429/how-to-run-a-github-actions-step-even-if-the-previous-step-fails-while-still-f#answers

• Do we want this to happen on each; Job eg. PHPCS, PHP Stan. Workflow: eg. Static Analysis; Only certain such as build?
• Would this create a lot of noise in the channel?
• Which channel should it be sent to?

Have added to Demo repo and outputting to updates channel (as that is where the app is installed).

Which workflows do we want this on @dmpinder?

      - name: "Failure notification."
        if: ${{ failure() }}
        id: 'slack'
        uses: 'slackapi/slack-github-action@v1.25.0'
        with:
          channel-id: 'updates'
          payload: |
            {
              "text": "${{ github.workflow }} workflow failed for ${{ github.event.repository.name }}",
              "blocks": [
                {
                  "type": "section",
                  "text": {
                    "type": "mrkdwn",
                    "text": "${{ github.workflow }} workflow failed for ${{ github.event.repository.name }}.\n<${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}/actions/runs/${{ github.run_id }}|View>"
                  }
                }
              ]
            }
        env:
          SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}

Looks good!

Failure notifications on build and static analysis would be ideal, thanks.

Have added both to the demo repo if you want to check them out.

Picking this up again, not sure how to test this, or if I need to test it? If you're happy it's working lets roll it out on the other repos.
