Hi there!
I am trying to develop a little integration. I have been using attachments (https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html) in order to have a message with a green, red or blue border at the left side. Just as in the examples on the linked page, I have a post that consists only of an "attachment". I have a "text" and a "fallback" field within my attachment and everything looks good, except the notifications: My Desktop Client notifications don't use the "fallback" text but instead say " did something new". At the message's top level, I don't want a text to be defined, but I tried a "fallback" field at this level which is ignored.
My message payload looks as follows:
payload = {
'channel' : 'off-topic',
'username' : 'I am a bot',
'fallback' : 'this is the fallback text', # this is ignored...?
'attachments': [
{
'text' : '**formatted** _text_',
'fallback' : "fallback unformatted text message",
'color': '#1A9D01',
'title': 'Super Important Notification',
'title_link': 'http://google.com',
}
]
}
Any idea on how to achieve this correctly?
Thanks
Christian
