+# Technique 1: Slack Workflow Builder
+
+> :memo: This technique uses Workflow Builder, which requires
+> [a Slack paid plan][plans].
+
+This technique sends data to Slack using a webhook to start a workflow created
+using Slack [Workflow Builder][wfb].
+
+## Setup
+
+The Slack app manifest included with each example showcases steps of a workflow
+in [Workflow Builder][wfb] along with the [webhook trigger][triggers] inputs.
+
+For details on how to setup this technique in GitHub Actions, read the
+[`README.md`][setup].
+
+## Example workflows
+
+1. [**Format generated files**](#format-generated-files): Message outputs from
+   prior steps.
+2. [**Post release announcements**](#post-release-announcements): Share releases
+   to a channel.
+3. [**Update a channel topic**](#update-a-channel-topic): Highlight the current
+   build status.
+
+### Format generated files
+
+Convert build outputs from earlier GitHub Action steps into a Slack message.
+
+This example uses data from a payload file to [send a message][send_message] to
+a hardcoded channel.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`builds.data.json`](./builds.data.json): Payload file being sent.
+- [`builds.gha.yml`](./builds.gha.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+- [`builds.manifest.json`](./builds.manifest.json): Slack app manifest.
+- [`builds.trigger.json`](./builds.trigger.json): Slack webhook trigger.
+
+### Post release announcements
+
+Select a channel to post news about the most recent release to.
+
+This example uses [Slack functions][functions] and inline inputs to do the
+following:
+
+1. Open a form to select a channel.
+2. Send a message to the selected channel.
+3. React with a `:tada:` emoji.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`announcements.gha.yml`](./announcements.gha.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+- [`announcements.manifest.json`](./announcements.manifest.json): Slack app
+  manifest.
+- [`announcements.trigger.json`](./announcements.trigger.json): Slack webhook
+  trigger.
+
+### Update a channel topic
+
+Show the latest commit status in the header of a channel.
+
+This example uses the default GitHub event [context][event-context] and
+[payload][event-payload] to [update a channel topic][update_channel_topic].
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`topic.gha.yml`](./topic.gha.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+- [`topic.manifest.json`](./topic.manifest.json): Slack app manifest.
+- [`topic.trigger.json`](./topic.trigger.json): Slack webhook trigger.

+# Technique 2: Slack API method
+
+A [token][tokens], such as a bot or user token, must be used to call one of
+[the Slack API methods][methods] with this technique.
+
+## Setup
+
+For details on how to set up this technique in GitHub Actions, read the
+[`README.md`][setup].
+
+## Example workflows
+
+1. [**Direct message the author**](#direct-message-the-author): Write to the
+   Slack user with a matching email.
+2. [**Invite a usergroup to channel**](#invite-a-usergroup-to-channel): Create a
+   channel and invite members.
+
+### Direct message the author
+
+Send a direct message to the user that pushed the most recent commits.
+
+This example uses the email of the pusher to find the user to send a message to.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`author.yml`](./author.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+
+### Invite a usergroup to channel
+
+Create a channel after a bug is reported and add members of a usergroup.
+
+This example chains multiple Slack API methods together to help fix bugs fast.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`invite.yml`](./invite.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.

+# Technique 3: Slack incoming webhook
+
+This technique uses this Action to post a message to a channel or direct message
+with [incoming webhooks][incoming-webhook] and a Slack app.
+
+Incoming webhooks follow the same [formatting][formatting] patterns as other
+Slack messaging APIs. Posted messages can be as short as a single line of text,
+include additional interactivity with [interactive components][interactivity],
+or be formatted with [Block Kit][block-kit] to build visual components.
+
+## Setup
+
+For details on how to setup this technique in GitHub Actions, read the
+[`README.md`][setup].
+
+## Example workflows
+
+1. [Post an inline text message](#post-an-inline-text-message)
+2. [Post an inline block message](#post-an-inline-block-message)
+3. [Post blocks found in a file](#post-blocks-found-in-a-file)
+
+### Post an inline text message
+
+Write a line of text after a push event is received.
+
+This example uses incoming webhooks to post a plain text message.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`text.yml`](./text.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+
+### Post an inline block message
+
+Format a response to recent adventures.
+
+This example uses incoming webhooks to post a message with Block Kit.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`blocks.yml`](./blocks.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
+
+### Post blocks found in a file
+
+Link to the GitHub Actions job in progress.
+
+This example uses file data when posting to an incoming webhook.
+
+**Related files**:
+
+- [`saved.data.json`](./saved.data.json): Payload file being sent.
+- [`saved.gha.yml`](./saved.gha.yml): GitHub Actions workflow.
