Hi,
I have made a slack bot to communicate to slack channel. I’m trying to mention user in the channel in a message using http node. Sending @username through http node returns it as just text. How can I mention user?
You can write <$username> it should then work correctly.
okay will try it out. Thanks
<$username> is not working.
Ah sorry, was a typo. I mean <@username>.
I tried that too, but it didn’t work either. I’m adding the code i wrote in http node below
{
“channel”:“U01GQFH6DUN”,
“blocks”:[
{
“type”:“divider”
},
{
“type”:“section”,
“text”:{
“type”:“plain_text”,
“text”:“Hi, Abhay has been assigned to you as your Buddy for this quarter. Click on the name to start a chat <@Abhay P A> We recommend you to set up a weekly cadence in the calendar for the next 3 months”,
“emoji”:true
}
}
]
}
Is that really the user-name? Because it works perfectly fine for me. Maybe the spaces are the problem. As an alternative you can also try to use the user-id or you can try setting link_names=1.
But is honestly the wrong forum for that question. Is less n8n related more Slack. So best to check in a Slack-Forum if nothing what I wrote above works.
Here the Slack documentation:
Thank you,
I was using http node for this so <@username> in attachment are taken as normal text only i think. But your reply give me the idea of trying this out with slack node and it works.
Thanks Again
Ah glad to hear that you got it working.
Have fun!
