Footer

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.

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.
