No Slack Notification after a GitHub Actions workflow

Support
1

Description

Made a GitHub Actions workflow to run unit tests and create a coverage report using the Codecov GitHub Actions v2 uploader after every push to main branch - works fine, reports are generated and uploaded correctly. However, I also have a codecov.yml in my repo configured to send Slack notifications - no notifications are sent. Wondering if my workflow yml and my repo codecov.yml aren’t compatible or something?

CI/CD URL

Private repo so can’t really link the workflow run, but it works fine. Will post the Codecov output anyways in case it could be helpful

Expected Results

I was hoping that when the workflow finished and the coverage report was sent to Codecov, I’d get a Slack notification detailing the coverage of the main branch after the merge (workflow only runs after merges to main branch).

Actual Results

No Slack notification even though I’ve configured notifications in codecov.yml. How to trigger the yml so the notification is sent?

Additional Information

Here’s my codecov.yml

codecov:
  require_ci_to_pass: yes

coverage:
  precision: 2
  round: down
  range: "70...100"
  notify:
    slack:
      default:
        url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/[REDACTED]"

parsers:
  gcov:
    branch_detection:
      conditional: yes
      loop: yes
      method: no
      macro: no

comment:
  layout: "reach,diff,flags,files,footer"
  behavior: default
  require_changes: no

The yml shoud be identical to the default yml with the exception of the Slack notification

@francisbilham11 have you added the GitHub app integration for this repository?
