It appears that the results from the document search do not directly address how to format messages in Slack when using the
prefect_slack.SlackWebhook
method. However, when sending messages through a Slack webhook, generally you would use Slack's own message formatting, which is based on Markdown. Here’s what you need to know about Slack message formatting: 1. italic - text wrapped with asterisks will be italicized 2. bold - text wrapped with double asterisks will be bolded 3.
code
- text wrapped with backticks will appear in a monospaced font 4.
Copy code
preformatted
- text wrapped with triple backticks will be in a preformatted block 5. > blockquote - a greater than symbol followed by a space will create a blockquote 6. - list item - a hyphen followed by a space will create an unordered list item 7. link - a markdown link format Please refer to Slack's formatting documentation for the most accurate and detailed information on message formatting. If you are using the
prefect_slack.SlackWebhook
, ensure you are formatting the text according to Slack Markdown, as mentioned above, and send it as the argument to the
message
parameter in the webhook call. If the formatting isn't applying, it's possible that it's being escaped or sent as plain text. For specific Prefect integration and the use of
prefect_slack.SlackWebhook
, you may want to check the Prefect SlackWebhook documentation and ensure you are conforming to any Prefect-specific requirements for Slack messaging. If you're still encountering difficulties, consider checking for related GitHub issues or seek further clarification within the Prefect community or support channels.
