+# Send Slack Message Action
+
+Sends a markdown message to a Slack channel.
+
+Unlike `rtCamp/action-slack-notify`, this action uses `slackapi/slack-github-action` and does not require Docker.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input              | Description                                           | Required |
+|--------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|----------|
+| `channel`          | Slack channel (without `#`) to post the message into. | Yes      |
+| `message-markdown` | The message to send, in markdown format.              | Yes      |
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+This action depends on:
+
+- [LoveToKnow/slackify-markdown-action](https://github.com/LoveToKnow/slackify-markdown-action) to convert markdown to Slack's mrkdwn format
+- [slackapi/slack-github-action](https://github.com/slackapi/slack-github-action) to send the message via `chat.postMessage`
