Slack Webhook Signature Verification

This workflow is ideal for:

• Developers: Who want to ensure the integrity of messages received from Slack Webhooks.
• Security Engineers: Concerned with verifying the authenticity of incoming requests to prevent potential security breaches.
• DevOps Teams: Looking to automate the validation of Slack messages in their CI/CD pipelines.
• Product Managers: Interested in ensuring that their applications interact securely with Slack services.

This workflow addresses the issue of verifying the authenticity of messages received from Slack Webhooks. By validating the signature, it ensures that the message originates from a trusted source, thereby preventing potential spoofing and security threats.

1. Make Slack Verif Token: Generates a base string used for signature verification based on the incoming request data.
2. Encode Secret String: Computes an HMAC SHA256 hash using the signing secret and the generated base string to create a candidate signature.
3. IF Condition: Compares the computed candidate signature with the signature provided in the Slack request header.
4. Set Verified to True: If the signatures match, sets a flag indicating that the signature is verified.
5. Stop and Error: If the signatures do not match, halts the workflow and raises an error message indicating failure to verify the signature.
6. Merge: Combines the output data for further processing or response.
