Please see the StringTemplate Cheat Sheet for an introduction to this syntax and the various features it provides. Each message has a variety of attributes provided to it by the Slack Connector that can be easily accessed with StringTemplate syntax. Additionally, some StringTemplate attributes may be entire Java objects whose properties can be traversed with the StringTemplate syntax to extract exactly the data you need. |
Please see the documentation for your connector to find exactly what template attributes are available:
- Slack connector for JIRA server
- Slack connector for JIRA Cloud
- Slack connector for Bitbucket Server
- Slack connector for Confluence Server
