I'm looking to send out a Post json request using Zapier's webhook function, together with Slack's incoming webhook set up.
I'm using block kit to develop the message style, and so far that's worked great. However, I'd like my bot to display with a custom username and emoji/icon and I'm having trouble.
Here is the JSON payload I'm trying, based off this tutorial https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage#args
The post seems to ignore the first two lines and posts as the standard bot name
{
"as_user": false,
"username": "test",
"blocks": [
{
"type": "section",
"text": {
"type": "mrkdwn",
"text": "*78 Varet St #14*\n 2 Bed / $2300 \n <#ben> \n 3rd Deposit This Month"
},
"accessory": {
"type": "image",
"image_url": "https://p.sharinpix.com/3/3521a32/YXBwLnNoYXJpbnBpeC5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2I2M2RkZTY4LWZkMDMtNGZlYy04OGUxLWYwZjA0N2E4NjQ3NS90aHVtYm5haWxzL29yaWdpbmFsLWI5MTdlNzAzY2U2LmpwZw/77-varet-st-building.jpg?timestamp=1639154285",
"alt_text": "cute cat"
}
},
{
"type": "divider"
}
]
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you just want to modify the icon and name of your bot ( will be the same throughout the app ), you should be able to do that on https://api.slack.com/apps/{YOUR_APP_ID}/general? under the Display Information section.
If you want to be able to change it from message to message, you will have to grant your app additional permissions scopes. See https://api.slack.com/methods/chat.postMessage#authorship

I am trying to use Action.Submit in my adaptive card to hit my Google Cloud Function. Where do I specify where to send the submission to? The reason I am doing this is I want to skip building a full chat server due to time constraint.
Example of Adaptive Card, no property to specify post URL:
{
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [
{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "Present a form and submit it back to the originator"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "firstName",
"placeholder": "What is your first name?"
},
{
"type": "Input.Text",
"id": "lastName",
"placeholder": "What is your last name?"
}
],
"actions": [
{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Action.Submit",
"data": {
"x": 13
}
}
]
}
Adaptive cards aren't developed specifically for bot service.
so working with them needs some tricks , in your case if you are trying to send a request that contain adaptive card inputs you need to know :
when the user click the submit button the adaptive card will send a message to bot activity handler on behalf of the user, this message contains a JSON object (you can view this object by adding this line in the bot onMessage function.
console.log(context.activity)
you can get the data from this meesage by using :
context.activity.value.firstName (to get the firstName sent by the adaptive card)
Now you can send your request to the server i prefer using Axios .
I am trying to send the emails via Sendgrid using v3 API using postman, I have created 3 separate variables in 3 different requests, I want to pass all those 3 variables in a single mail, for that I have used below sendgrid
https://api.sendgrid.com/v3/mail/send
with below body
{
"personalizations": [
{
"to": [
{
"email": "testing#test.com",
"name": "API Testing"
}
],
"subject": "API testing successful"
}
],
"from": {
"email": "noreply#testApi.com",
"name": "API Testing"
},
"content": [
{
"type": "text/plain",
"value": "{{variable1}}" //In variable1 has a dynamic values
}
]
}
but the above format sending the mail body as {{Variable1}}, can someone help me on this?
For handlebar {{ variable_value }} substitutions in dynamic HTML templates, u need to pass the variable value as JSON structure with the key as "dynamic_template_data" as part of personalizations.
U also need to pass the (API Key) Authorization as "Authorization: and Value as "Bearer ".
In the Request Body pass the personalizations object.
{
"personalizations": [
{
"to": [
{
"email": "ron#***",
}
],
"dynamic_template_data": {
"<variable_name>": <variable_value>
}
}
],
"from": {
"email": "development#crosspaymt.com",
"name": "Development Team"
},
"content": [
{
"type": "text/html",
"value": "replace body with template content"
}
],
"template_id": "******"
}
From what I understand of the question you want to send multiple requests with different values.
Say, GET to https://google.com/q={{search}} and you have multiple search queries, (dog, chess, marvel, stackoverflow)
Create a collection in postman
Add a GET request to https://google.com/q={{search}} with necessary headers and hit Save
Create a CSV file with the header search and all search values under it
Hit the run button for the newly created collection
Set the Iterations field to the number of queries you have. In this example it is 4
Look for the field Data, select the created CSV file
Ensure the data is correctly being picked up by hitting the Preview button
Hit Run test
You can view the output in the Postman Console
To open Postman Console Head to View in the application menu, and click on "Show Postman Console" or use the keyboard shortcut (CMD/CTRL + ALT + C) to open.
I am using Click Funnels and I wanted to add every new contact directly to the database without any integrations like Zapier or something else.
The problem I have is that while using the ClickFunnels API, I only have access to ten results of the first page.
https://api.clickfunnels.com/contacts.json?email={{email}}&auth_token={{auth_token}}
{
"data": [
...json objects...
],
"jsonapi": {
"version": "1.0"
},
"links": {
"self": "https://api.clickfunnels.com/contacts.json?auth_token={{auth_token}}&email={{email}}&page%5Bnumber%5D=1&page%5Bsize%5D=10",
"first": "https://api.clickfunnels.com/contacts.json?auth_token={{auth_token}}&email={{email}}&page%5Bnumber%5D=1&page%5Bsize%5D=10",
"prev": null,
"next": "https://api.clickfunnels.com/contacts.json?auth_token={{auth_token}}&email={{email}}&page%5Bnumber%5D=2&page%5Bsize%5D=10",
"last": "https://api.clickfunnels.com/contacts.json?auth_token={{auth_token}}&email={{email}}&page%5Bnumber%5D=4&page%5Bsize%5D=10"
}
}
I tried to change the page size value, but it doesn't work.
I want to view all the contacts.
What do you suggest I do?
I'm following this tutorial :
https://developer.autodesk.com/en/docs/model-derivative/v2/tutorials/prepare-file-for-viewer/
In previous steps, I get the token, get a token for bucket, create one and upload a file in it.
But, when I try, on the next step, to convert my file to svg, I get this message :
{fault.name} - The client_id specified does not have access to the api product
In Postman, I've do that :
POST https://developer.api.autodesk.com/modelderivative/v2/designdata/job
-- Header
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1...
-- Body
{
"input": {
"urn": "dXJuOmFkc2sub2JqZWN0czpvcy5vYmplY3Q6ZGV2c3RlZWxidWNrZXQvc2t5c2NwcjEuXXXX"
},
"output": {
"formats": [
{
"type": "svf",
"views": [
"2d",
"3d"
]
}
]
}
}
And I do not find any solution in Google.
You need to activate your account.
If you face same issue even after activating your account, another possibility could be-
you might have missed "Model derivative API" while creating forge APP.
When using the /page/feed endpoint in the Facebook Graph API I can't figure out how to know if the post was made by a Page or a User
Here's how I call the endpoint right now:
HTTP GET https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/{page_id}/feed?fields=is_published,from,message
This yields the following JSON response:
{
"data": [
{
"from": {
"name": "Chad Smith", # <-- This is a User
"id": "806273209398023"
},
"message": "A really magical place! Best Christmas...",
"id": "103988597020_1445496708809010"
},
{
"from": {
"name": "Tivoli", # <-- This is a Page
"id": "103988597020"
},
"message": "Hello everybody...",
"id": "103988597020_10154040865527021"
},
]
}
How can I know if the post was from a Page or User without making additional API calls? I've tried using subfields, but can't figure out if they work on the from field.
I solved it by using ?fields=from{name,about} and marking it as a Page if the from JSON contains about.
This is not the best solution, but about is currently the only subfield of from that doesn't fail on User. (e.g. if I was using ?fields=from{fan_count} the Graph API will fail for posts made by User objects.
