// Incoming Webhook Example | |
// Slack ignores the "parse" value entirely in this case | |
const { IncomingWebhook } = require('@slack/client'); | |
const url = 'WEBHOOKURL'; | |
const webhook = new IncomingWebhook(url); | |
var text = '<https://google.com|Click Me Please!> https://google.com' | |
const message = { | |
username: 'Test User', | |
parse: 'full', | |
text: text, | |
attachments: [ | |
{ | |
parse: 'full', | |
title: 'New Feedback:', | |
text: text, | |
image_url: 'https://test.image', | |
} | |
] | |
}; | |
webhook.send(message, function(err, res) { | |
if (err) { | |
console.log('Error:', err); | |
} else { | |
console.log('Message sent: ', res); | |
} | |
}); | |
// WebClient Example (Send message as a Bot User) | |
// Slack respects the "parse" value in this case | |
const { WebClient } = require('@slack/client'); | |
const token = 'TOKEN-VALUE-HERE'; | |
const web = new WebClient(token); | |
const conversationId = 'CBG67E9JR'; | |
web.chat.postMessage({ channel: conversationId, text: '<https://google.com|CLICKME!> *bold*', parse: 'full' }) | |
.then((res) => { | |
console.log('Message sent: ', res.ts); | |
}) | |
.catch(console.error); | |
// In one case, the parse functionality is respected. In another case, it is not respected. This is confusing! |
