Slack Provider Overrides (and Blocks)

Our create notifications endpoint allows you to customize the payload sent to Slack by setting notification.overrides.

The notification.overrides.slack parameter accepts all the body parameters of Slack's chat.postMessage API.

Provider-specific parameters in notification.overrides take precedence over the ones specified in notification.

Example: Slack Blocks

Here's how you would translate the Stacking multiple blocks example from the Slack docs:

<Snippets
params={{
notification: {
recipients: [
{
email: '[email protected]',
},
],
title: 'New PTO Request',
content: 'Fred has requested PTO from Aug 10 - Aug 13',
overrides: {
providers: {
slack: {
blocks: [
{
type: 'header',
text: {
type: 'plain_text',
text: 'New request',
},
},
{
type: 'section',
fields: [
{
type: 'mrkdwn',
text: 'Type:\nPaid Time Off',
},
{
type: 'mrkdwn',
text: 'Created by:\n<example.com|Fred Enriquez>',
},
],
},
{
type: 'section',
fields: [
{
type: 'mrkdwn',
text: 'When:\nAug 10 - Aug 13',
},
],
},
{
type: 'section',
text: {
type: 'mrkdwn',
text: '<https://example.com|View request>',
},
},
],
},
},
},
},
}}
/>
