I am creating a custom slash command that hooks up to a RESTful API. I am looking to send a user id of the current users choosing, so I'd love to be able to use the # shortcut to bring up the list of teammates. This API call is expecting a user id and a message. Is something like this possible:
/SLASHCOMMAND #USER, MESSAGE
You can certainly type #whatever into a a slash command, but the text will just be sent as-is to your HTTP endpoint.
In the example above, you would receive "#USER, MESSAGE" as the text of the slash command. (If you want an ID, you'll then have to do your own parsing to find at-mentions and use the Slack Web API to figure out the ID corresponding to that username.)

I'm trying to add param in the url, like in this example:
https://www.google.com/ > https://www.google.com/search?q=qq
Opening the last link you can see "qq" in the "q" input.
For this site it doesn't work (this is the problem):
https://www.calabriasue.it/assistenza/richiesta-assistenza-e-supporto/
https://www.calabriasue.it/assistenza/richiesta-assistenza-e-supporto/?nome=mario
Can I add url param also in the last one? I need it.
Thanks!
I tried using different input names, different params ecc but it doesn't work.
Google's server side code is designed to generate an HTML document with an input field that is prefilled with the current search term which is reads from the URL. That is why adding q=search+term to the URL populates the input field.
You can't make arbitrary third-party websites prefill inputs. They have to explicitly provide a mechanism to make it possible.
Parameters only work as long as the code for the target website is expecting to handle a parameter named "nome" with a value "mario". In the case of the google website, it is expecting a parameter named "q" and has a form input for it.
Clicking a URL sends a a GET request type, and the target site may only be accepting parameters from a POST request type. You could consider using the application known as "PostMan" to help with that.
Alternately, the target page you are viewing may be forwarded / routed from a different page which accepts parameters.
Every URL ends with the same pattern, "Part-123456789" where the "Part" is a constant and the "123456789" is a part number. I want to run an adwords campaign targetting every part # and directing to the unique url for that part. Is there a simple way to do this?
Note: Adwords Editor is giving me ambiguous rowtype errors whenever I try to upload the keywords and URL's together in the same line of a .csv file.
The available value track parameters for AdWords tracking templates offers both the keyword ID and matched keyword:
https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/6305348?co=ADWORDS.IsAWNCustomer%3Dfalse&hl=en
You could use this to determine the part number in the URL but it may require some mapping in the content management system.
Let's say I want to create a slash command with the flexibility to define the component as tag name which will be used for deployment.
eg: /dev-deploy comments v1.0.0
I have added the slash command as well as set the parameterized URL in
http://host/buildByToken/buildWithParameters?job=dev-deployment&token=test
All the other commands data is present in JSON object how can I access that data and pass it as a parameter to shell script which is executed when the build is triggered.
The slash command from Slack is sending a POST request to your URL. This request contains a property named text, which in your example would be "comments v1.0.0". To extract the tag you would need to parse it.
I would recommend to use some simple script (e.g. PHP) to receive the POST request, parse it (maybe also do some security checks) and then start the job with a shell command.
I am not sure what JSON object you are referring to. The slash command does not send any JSON. So maybe your question is missing some vital information? If so please add.
Here is an example of the POST request (from the official Slack documentation):
token=gIkuvaNzQIHg97ATvDxqgjtO
team_id=T0001
team_domain=example
enterprise_id=E0001
enterprise_name=Globular%20Construct%20Inc
channel_id=C2147483705
channel_name=test
user_id=U2147483697
user_name=Steve
command=/weather
text=94070
response_url=https://hooks.slack.com/commands/1234/5678
I'm integrating slack with jenkins to use slash commands and want to know if slash commands have variables
What I want to do is something like this;
/this_word_should_be_in_the_url word
and the be able to use word in the URL the slash command will call.
On their page they have something like /weather 94070
Do I have access to the 94070 and somehow set is as a query parameter for the URL.
Is this possible?
Can't find any documentation of this.
Thanks.
Yes. You will have access to the word as per the example that you mentioned.
So for example, if you have the following:
/this_word_should_be_in_the_url word
Then there will be an additional query parameter named text that will contain everything else after the slash command. If you just have one parameter then it should be simple to just trim and use the text query parameter but if you have multiple words and need to split them into something more meaningful, then you might have to use some regex or simple string split function.
It is documented at How do commands work. In this section they have provided the various query parameters that will get passed to your Slash Command External URL. For the weather example, the data posted as per the documentation is:
token=gIkuvaNzQIHg97ATvDxqgjtO
team_id=T0001
team_domain=example
channel_id=C2147483705
channel_name=test
user_id=U2147483697
user_name=Steve
command=/weather
text=94070
response_url=https://hooks.slack.com/commands/1234/5678
Notice the text parameter in the above list.
How to pass additional parameters to this twitter update api by using curl from terminal?

Say I need to pass replyto user id as given in the documentation. Although I could simply append #username before the message, I need user id based and #user_id didn't work.
We need to simply append it to the url.
