For example, I have three last steps in my pipeline and I would like to have not only the message in slack but also a link to the allure report as well

prepare:  
title: “Prepare report”  
stage: “prepare”  
image: ‘ubuntu’ # The image in which command will be executed  
working\_directory: “${{clone}}” # Running command where code cloned  
commands:  
- “cp -r -f ./allure-results $CF\_VOLUME\_PATH/allure-results”

generate:  
title: Generate test reporting  
stage: “generate”  
image: codefresh/cf-docker-test-reporting  
working\_directory: ‘${{CF\_VOLUME\_PATH}}’  
environment:  
- CLEAR\_TEST\_REPORT=true  
- BUCKET\_NAME=example-allure-reports  
- CF\_STORAGE\_INTEGRATION=allure

slack notify:  
title: Slack notify  
stage: “slack notify”  
type: slack-notifier  
arguments:  
SLACK\_HOOK\_URL: “${{SLACK\_HOOK\_URL}}”  
SLACK\_TEXT: “Test completed”

An output from the “generate” stage is

All 92 report files was successfully uploaded  
You can access report on:  
[Codefresh | console](https://g.codefresh.io/api/testReporting/v2/5ff4681a40143fwfwffds1ec/main/s3/allure/example-allure-reports/6033729asdsadf342a/index.html)  
Start removing test report folder  
Annotation cf\_test\_reporter\_link was created.

How can I get this URL after every single pipeline run and post it to slack?

What about a pipeline hook?

Thank you for your answer. The main problem is this annotation “cf\_test\_reporter\_link”. I see it generated in the console log but unfortunately, I can’t get it and transfer it to Slack.

You should be able to get all annotations with the Codefresh CLI in a pipeline [Annotations · Codefresh | Docs](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/codefresh-yaml/annotations/#viewingediting-annotations)

I need to double check if the test report is always annotating with the URL, but I believe it does. You can easily use the Codefresh CLI in a pipeline step [Codefresh API · Codefresh | Docs](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/integrations/codefresh-api/#using-codefresh-from-within-codefresh)

To use Codefresh CLI I have to set ‘image: codefresh/cli’ and yes, from here I can get an annotation but the main problem is the Slack step.

```auto
slack notify:
  title: Slack notify
  stage: “slack notify”
  type: slack-notifier
    arguments:
      SLACK_HOOK_URL: “${{SLACK_HOOK_URL}}”
      SLACK_TEXT: “Test completed”

```

I can’t use image: codefresh/cli here or maybe I just don’t know how to do it. How I can get an annotation for this step?

</div>

You need to use two steps. One with codefresh cli and [cf\_export](https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/codefresh-yaml/variables/#using-cf_export-command) to create an environment variable with the result. And one with slack that uses the result

Here is the idea (just pseudocode)

```auto
version: '1.0'
steps:
  allure_link_fetch:
    title: Getting Test URL
    image: codefresh/cli
    commands:
      - 'TEST_URL =$(codefresh get annotation ...)
      - cf_export TEST_URL
  slack_notify:
    title: Slack notify
    stage: “slack notify”
    type: slack-notifier
    arguments:
      SLACK_HOOK_URL: “${{SLACK_HOOK_URL}}”
      SLACK_TEXT: “Test completed at $TEST_URL”

```

Does that help?

I have already tried this case and the console log of the previous step (Before Slack) is here

> Successfully ran freestyle step: Get report  
> Reading environment variable exporting file contents.

I can have an output to the console of what I want.  
The next step is to save this URL in the variable and transfer it to the last step which is Slack.

> title: Get report  
> stage: “get report”

and I don’t know how to do it.

Try this:
