This is because the default message doesn't properly handle all event types, which don't define all of the json properties that are expected. I've been meaning to create different defaults for different event types so I'll go ahead and do that which should fix it.

[rjstone]

Ok, give v1 a try again. The head of the v1 branch has what should be a fix.

Here's a list of all the possible event types and their JSON info: https://developer.github.com/v3/activity/events/types/

If anyone wants to contribute new defaults for each event type then just send me a pull request. There's a function that returns the default descriptions so it's pretty obvious how to do it.

So I can stick with rjstone/[email protected] or would I need to change the version?

[rjstone]

Change version to just @v1. If it is working I will tag it with v1.0.3

[Andre601]

Worked flawlessly.

[rjstone]

Ok, tagged v1.0.4

Seems like v1 of rjstone/discord-webhook-notify@v1 is throwing and Error Cannot read property 'full_name' of undefined.

Workflow code:

- name: Test Success EX Manager
        uses: rjstone/discord-webhook-notify@v1
        if: success()
        with:
          severity: info
          details: EX Manager test SUCCEEDED! :-)
