Messages are sent to the Slack API as JSON objects. The Slack message format is defined in the Slack API Documentation: https://api.slack.com/docs/messages
You can test advanced message formatting with the Slack Message Builder before bringing your message into the Slack Connector for Confluence and configuring message keys.
