Notification for Promoting Pre-Releases to Latest Releases

[mazlan25]

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Currently, the GitHub-Slack integration does not send notifications when a pre-release is promoted to a latest release . This creates a communication gap, as our team does not get notified when production deployments happen.

Additionally:
The notification messages do not distinguish whether a release is a pre-release or a latest release . For example, it always states "New release published..." without specifying the type of release, which causes confusion.
The integration does not allow us to customize the notification messages, which limits the ability to provide relevant context or format the notifications according to team preferences.

Describe the solution you'd like
1. Notification for Promoting Pre-Releases to Latest Releases:

• Add support for Slack notifications when a pre-release is promoted to a latest release.
• Include the relevant details, such as:
• Release type (pre-release or latest release).
• Release version.
• Associated changes.
• Links to the release.

2. Feature to Edit Notification Messages:

• Allow customization of Slack notification messages, such as:
• Modifying the message format.
• Adding custom text or links.
• Including specific tags or mentions for relevant team members.
• Adding environment variables for deployment on different environment during pre-release and latest-release

Additional context

Our team uses GitHub-Slack integration extensively to track release updates, especially for automated CI/CD pipelines. Notifications for promoting pre-releases to production (latest release) are critical for ensuring everyone is aligned on production changes.

Example scenarios where this feature would be helpful:

• Notifying the team about a production deployment triggered by promoting a pre-release.
• Differentiating between pre-release and latest-release messages to avoid confusion in the notification channel.
