Slack Template

​

📜 Template

You can create the template while creating an Event with Slack channel enabled. You can easily create/update the template content by editing the event.

Raven supports both text and block-kit format for creating slack messages.

Here’s how you can add a blocks message in the template section of the Event.

​

Dynamic Content

To pass dynamic or custom data in the template like invoice number, user name, tracking link etc., you should wrap it within handlebars {{ user_name }} . Raven uses Handlebars.js to parse the template and all handlebar operations are supported. Following Handlebars expressions are supported within templates:

1. Nested objects
2. #if, #each, #with

You will need to pass the value of the variables in the data object of Send Event API.

Example

Hey {{user_name}}, Thank you for your Order Id# {{order.id}} of amount {{order.amount}}.
{{#if premium}} Glad to have you as our Premium customer. {{/if}}

data object in API:

...,
"data": {
    "user_name": "Joe",
    "order": {
        "id": 123,
        "amount": 745
    },
    "premium": true
}
