Steps
Chat Channel Step
Use the chat channel step to send a message for providers like: Slack, WhatsApp, Discord and others.
await step.chat('send-chat', async () => {
return {
body: 'A new post has been created',
};
});
Provider Overrides
Some providers offer a rich DSL for styling the messages. Novu Framework offers a robust API to leverage the provider specific capabilities using the step providers
option object.
Let’s see an example of how to send a message to Slack using the providers
option objet.
await step.chat('send-chat', async () => {
return {
body: 'A new post has been created',
};
}, {
providers: {
slack: ({ inputs }) => ({
text: 'A new post has been created',
blocks: [
{
type: 'section',
text: {
type: 'mrkdwn',
text: 'A new post has been created',
},
},
],
}),
}
});
Default chat body
field is still specified as a fallback value in case a provider specific configuration is not used.
Currently we only support Slack
provider overrides. We are working on adding more providers.
