Message Configuration

Supported payload types

Each destination type has specific schema structures tailored to its payload type. For Slack, the schema varies depending on whether the payload type is Structured or Raw.
Payload type payload_type API value Description
Structured structured The user provides templates for discrete fields (e.g., Title, Description, Footer). The system builds a Slack payload from these fields.
Raw raw The user provides a template that must render to a valid JSON object that follows Slack's API payload format. Allows full control over notification content.

Structured payload type

UI label	API field name	Rendered output type	Required	Description
Title	`title`	`String`	true	The title of the Slack notification.
Description	`description`	`String`	false	A brief description of the Slack notification.
Footer	`footer`	`String`	false	Footer text for the Slack notification.

Raw payload type

For raw payload type, the Slack message schema is configured directly using a JSON payload. The templates in the provided payload are rendered and the result is sent as-is to the Slack API.
UI label API field name Rendered output type Required Description
Payload payload JSONObject true The payload of the request to be sent to Slack.
