I want to send alert notifications and approval prompts to Slack and Teams from my stories, and I’d love them to look polished rather than just a wall of raw JSON. Is there a straightforward way to format messages nicely from Tines? Any tips on using Block Kit for Slack or Adaptive Cards for Teams would be really appreciated.
Both Slack and Microsoft Teams are well-supported in Tines and have many pre-built templates available for use. For Slack, you use the HTTP action to call the Slack API, and you can pass a full Block Kit payload as the request body to get richly formatted messages with sections, buttons, images, and more. Slack’s Block Kit Builder is a helpful companion tool for designing layouts before wiring them into Tines.
For Microsoft Teams, Adaptive Cards work similarly. You construct the card JSON and send it as a message through an HTTP Request. The formatting options are flexible enough to build clear, actionable notifications.
