Add support for sending thread_broadcast

[dstrates]

Description

Would like the ability to send a threaded reply notification to a channel with thread_broadcast.

This could be surfaced as an optional flag to broadcast the threaded message to the channel, as mentioned in #119

Hey @dstrates and those following along 👋 We don't support a specific input parameter for the reply_broadcast parameter but this can be included in the payload with a message to decide if the threaded message should be broadcast:

- uses: slackapi/slack-github-action@v1
  with:
    channel-id: "C0123456789"
    payload: |
      {
        "reply_broadcast": true,
        "thread_ts": "${{ steps.example.outputs.ts }}",
        "text": "Status update: LGTM!"
      }
  env:
    SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}

This found better support in the @v2.0.0 release, where the payload is now sent to a provided Slack API method like so:

- name: Post the first example message
  uses: slackapi/[email protected]
  id: example
  with:
    method: chat.postMessage
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}
    payload: |
      channel: ${{ secrets.SLACK_CHANNEL_ID }}
      text: "Something started..."
- name: Broadcast a reply to the example
  uses: slackapi/[email protected]
  with:
    method: chat.postMessage
    token: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}
    payload: |
      channel: ${{ secrets.SLACK_CHANNEL_ID }}
      reply_broadcast: true
      thread_ts: "${{ steps.example.outputs.ts }}"
      text: "Status update: LGTM!"

This is a super great suggestion and I'll close this issue now that we're supporting it! But please write back if you're finding strangeness with these changes 🙏
