Using Functions In Slack Block Builer

Features

1

Hello - I’ve hired an external support and they have told me that Slack Block Builder module does not support functions.

My interpretation of that on the block builders is that the JSON with the ifempty function is part of Make. It would then be formatted in Make before passing through to Slack Block Builder.

If the functions are set up correctly, then they should appear in Slack without an error.

I’ve made a Loom on the error: Troubleshooting Slack Errors 🛠️ | Loom

Yes, you are correct that the Make functions will be run before the module sends its payload to the external service.

No, you cannot use the ifempty function in your case, because the https:// part will always make the first parameter of the ifempty function true, because well it is a value in itself.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
