Roadmap

1. ✔️ Add Slack Functionality (Version 1.1.0)
2. ✔️ Add Telegram Support
3. Add Telegram Help Guide in the Wiki Page
4. Add Error Handling
5. Add Teams Support
6. Refactor Code
7. Work towards Version 2
   • The aim for version 2 will be to add a build URL (.apk, .ipa) to the message instead of a link to the project page.

Notes

If you don't set the type, it will try and find the information from the URL (Doesn't work for Telegram). If this fails, it will error. It is still best practise to define the type.
