How can I use the Slack API for basic interactivity?

You can use the Slack API to create interactive messages, buttons, and dialogs. Start by setting up a Slack app.

What are interactive messages?

Interactive messages are messages that include buttons or menus, allowing users to take actions directly within Slack.

How do I create a button in a message?

You can create a button by using the 'attachments' or 'blocks' feature in your message payload. Would you like an example?

Yes, please provide an example!

Sure! Here's a simple example:

{
  "attachments": [
    {
      "text": "Do you want to proceed?",
      "fallback": "You are unable to choose",
      "callback_id": "button_click",
      "actions": [
        {
          "name": "yes",
          "text": "Yes",
          "type": "button",
          "value": "yes"
        },
        {
          "name": "no",
          "text": "No",
          "type": "button",
          "value": "no"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
