im running into socket errors, any chance someone can tell me what firewall rules should be setup to allow for this funcctionality

ra0x3 · 2018-11-06T19:09:05Z

Works for me using requests futures (via requests-futures). Caveat here is that you have to json encode the entire payload, and send that as your data, as opposed to just sending a dict (which this tutorial successfully shows)

yazinsai · 2019-05-08T09:47:49Z

Content-Type is optional when you use the json= param in requests. I'm using this:

requests.post(webhook_url, json={'text': 'Hello from Python!'})

guymorrell · 2019-07-29T10:11:02Z

If you are using the newer Block Kit Builder to format your text, you'll produce an array. There is an example array in the link.
To post it to Slack, do the following:

def post_to_slack(message):
    webhook_url = 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/MY/WEBHOOK/URL'
    slack_data = json.dumps({'blocks': message})
    response = requests.post(
        webhook_url, data=slack_data,
        headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    )
    if response.status_code != 200:
        raise ValueError(
            'Request to slack returned an error %s, the response is:\n%s'
            % (response.status_code, response.text)
        )

post_to_slack(data)

Really helpful. Thanks

NandanSatheesh · 2019-09-09T18:16:20Z

Really helpful. Thanks a lot.
But I had a question. How can I post a Block Kit Message using Web Hooks? Is it possible? If so how?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Please let me know.
Thanks.

The example I gave will post a block kit message via webhook. Store the block kit built array as the variable 'data' to make it work. Good luck!

Okay, so you're trying to post the Farmhouse Thai Cuisine example to Slack via Webhook from the api.slack.com Block Kit Builder.

I've done something similar here. In that example, I use OATH as I also wanted to upload an image but have a variable which can be set to use webhooks instead. The Block Kit is built on the fly by the script.

Why not try something simpler like this:

data = []
data.append({"type": "section","text": {"type": "mrkdwn","text": "I'm posting to Slack via webhook"}})

def post_to_slack(message):
    webhook_url = 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/MY/WEBHOOK/URL'
    slack_data = json.dumps({'blocks': message})
    response = requests.post(
        webhook_url, data=slack_data,
        headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    )
    if response.status_code != 200:
        raise ValueError(
            'Request to slack returned an error %s, the response is:\n%s'
            % (response.status_code, response.text)
        )

post_to_slack(data)

Then you can build up your Block Kit as you wish.

johannesber · 2019-09-12T10:57:22Z

@guymorrell Using this approach, I get a notification that the sent content can't be displayed. If I open the Slack Channel, the provided text is shown without any formatting.

guymorrell · 2019-09-25T11:23:09Z

@johannesber and @NandanSatheesh try putting the content directly into a separate json file then loading it into a variable as follows:

import slack
import json
import requests

with open("block.json", "rt") as block_f:
    data = json.load(block_f)

def post_to_slack(message):
    webhook_url = 'https://hooks.slack.com/services/MY/WEBHOOK/URL'
    slack_data = json.dumps({'blocks': message})
    response = requests.post(
        webhook_url, data=slack_data,
        headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
    )
    if response.status_code != 200:
        raise ValueError(
            'Request to slack returned an error %s, the response is:\n%s'
            % (response.status_code, response.text)
        )

post_to_slack(data)

I've put this up here: https://github.com/guymorrell/slack-webhooks-blockkit

johannesber · 2019-09-27T07:49:03Z

@guymorrell now this works like a charm! Thanks for your help!

SalSoloman · 2020-01-08T17:39:26Z

Hi, is there away you can use the same method but posting in a thread instead of the channel on Slack?

guymorrell · 2020-01-16T10:24:48Z

Yup. See https://api.slack.com/messaging/webhooks and https://api.slack.com/messaging/sending#threading

Hi @Udhay1316, can you post trivial messages to slack? See https://github.com/guymorrell/slack-post-oath

MarijanGazica · 2021-06-08T14:46:21Z

Digging the history up but this seems to not work as intended anymore.
What I get as a result is no_text when I try to post a message. If I add the text field, it ignores the blocks.
Have you seen this issue before?

rafaelnpaiva · 2022-02-15T22:10:14Z

aswinin22 · 2022-03-25T16:45:59Z

json={"text": data}

Amazing! Working like a charm!

aronmarden · 2022-10-14T07:59:59Z

@rafaelnpaiva - I have this problem also.

You need to use the block strucutre that Slack is expecting: (found here)

{
	"blocks": [
		{
			"type": "section",
			"text": {
				"type": "plain_text",
				"text": "This is a plain text section block.",
				"emoji": true
			}
		}
	]
}

I also need to send a simple JSON payload, and I really don't understand why there isn't a way to send our own key:value JSON block...I get that it won't nessasarily be pretty like Slack likes things to be... but sometimes we just need payloads.

@guymorrell do you have any ideas?

eugenyuk · 2023-08-07T09:28:13Z

Hi, this is working example:

import requests

def send_slack_notif():

    url = 'YOUR_SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL'
    payload = {
        "blocks": [
            {
			    "type": "section",
			    "text": {
				    "type": "plain_text",
				    "text": ":red_circle: This is a plain text section block.",
				    "emoji": True
			    }
	}
        ]
    }
    r = requests.post(url, json=payload)
    
send_slack_notif()

Karthik-Nayak98 · 2024-08-12T11:14:58Z

I want to format the code in the form of code.
```
slack_data = {
"text": "```\n" + message + "\n```"
}

    response = requests.post(
        url,
        proxies={
            "http_proxy": <proxy>,
        },
        json=slack_data,
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        timeout=5,
    )
    print(response.text)
   ```

This does not format my code.
