# Footer

<!-- WARNING: THIS FILE WAS AUTOGENERATED! DO NOT EDIT! -->

Messages can have a footer, which is the text that displays at the bottom of a message.

The footer can consist of an image, text, and or a timestamp. This message type also supports [Markdown and @mentions](/docs/chat/customizing-messages/message-with-markdown).

To add a footer to your message, the parent object in the `body` array must be of type `section`.

Inside the `sections` array you can add your message type.

-   `footer_icon`: an image, pass in an image url
-   `footer`: the text to display
-   `ts`: a date in milliseconds (Unix timestamp)

A recent timestamp displays in relative time (30 minutes ago). If not recent, it displays in `MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM` format.
