Hi @Sri Karan ,
Could you please provide more details on what do you mean by "tagged versions of my pipeling"? Do you mean BITBUCKET_BUILD_NUMBER?

Hi @Viktoriia Kozopas we are using semtag to tag our build versions and want to send custom messages to slack with the version details.

I guess I understand what you need. 

To share the data between steps you may use artifacts that you configure in the pipeline. You may create the file to save data (in your case - version number) and then share it with the following step (for example - in the message variable of the slack-notify pipe).

In bitbucket-pipelines.yml it may look something like this:

pipelines:

  default:

    - step:

        # ... previous steps ...

        script:

          - semtag getcurrent > ./version.txt # write version to file

        artifacts:

          - version.txt

   - step:

        script:

          - pipe: atlassian/slack-notify:0.3.3

            variables:

              WEBHOOK_URL: $WEBHOOK_URL

              MESSAGE: $(cat ./version.txt)

Hope this helps. Please, let us know if you have any questions.

@Viktoriia Kozopas Can we add failure notification to slack as well using the slack notify pipeline?

[Oleksandr Kyrdan]

@Sri Karan  you can use $BITBUCKET_EXIT_CODE variable .

And add Slack notify pipe  to the after-script section in the step similar to this question.
