We want to move away from ClickOpsing GitHub config so ideally it should be added in the Terraform config. Similar to organisations secrets https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-infrastructure/blob/main/terraform/deployments/github/main.tf#L224-L253

Add a custom github action to make it easier to send CI errors to a team channel with some notes on how to use the action.
