I am creating a Post.message to Slack through Python and want to add in a button feature. I want the button to provide a list of serial numbers that are represented by low2 = low["serials"]. This is the code I currently have and it adds the button to the slack message but when I click the button I get an error saying "Oh no, something went wrong. Please try that again." from slackbot. I saw posts saying that most people have to create a bot to fix their problems with buttons but if the button just has to read this variable I assume there is a way around that. Thanks for the help!
"fields": [
{
"title": "Amount Used:",
"value": low1,
"short": 'true'
},{
"title": "Distinct Device ID's:",
"value": out1,
"short": 'true'
},
{
"title": "Total Connection Time (hr):",
"value": data2,
"short": 'true'
}
],
"actions": [
{
"name": "game",
"text": "Serials",
"type": "button",
"value": "serials",
}
],
I solved my problem by converting the confirm action button to display the values I wanted.
with open('Count_BB_Serial_weekly.json', 'r') as lowfile:
low = json.load(lowfile)
low1 = low["total_serials"]
low2 = low["serials"]
low3 = '\r\n'.join(low2)
Above is my script that imports the array and reads the values. Below I put the results into the "confirm" pop up button.
