Hello all, i added this condition to my travis.yml, the alert display on slack channel on all branches and not only on master branch

```auto
 slack:
 if: branch = master
   rooms:
     - <account>:<token>

```

If this is the exact formatting of your configuration, I would point out that `if` is on the same level as `slack`. Please review

> **[Travis CI Documentation](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/notifications/#conditional-notifications)**
>
> Configuring Build Notifications

  
which tells you that `if` is one level below `slack`.

Thanks @BanzaiMan, I updated the code and it still doesn’t work

```
  slack:
    if: branch = "master"
    rooms:
      - abct:q6IX9D3F8cd
```

This is working for me. Please review your configuration.

I tried this config, but it still notify on branch `test. I am running with Travis Enterprise.

```auto
notifications:
  slack:
    if: branch = release-3
    rooms:
      - secure: xxxxx
    on_success: always
    on_failure: always

```
