I have used the combination of Azure Monitor -> Logic Apps -> Slack to implement Monitoring Soln. With the new integration of Slack Apps with Azure Logic App , the legacy webhooks are no more required. I have configured the connection between the Azure Logic App and Slack Channel for posting the Alerts, however there is no option to color code the side bar of Slack Post using this method. Objective here to at least put two different color , Red if Issue is active and Green is its resolved. I know which would have been possible if I was using legacy incoming webhooks. Please advise

Hi @Rajesh Kumar Mishra Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! The current version of Post message (V2) operation in Slack connector does not expose the attachments field which has the color attribute. I will reach out to our team to gather more details around it and will share it with you. As a workaround, you may choose to use Http action to achieve the required result by calling the corresponding Slack api. Please 'Accept as answer' and ‘Upvote’ if it helped so that it can help others in the community looking for help on similar topics.

@AnuragSingh-MSFT As mentioned by you earlier were you able to reach out to your team and provide me more details around it ?

Also I see mrkdwn is enabled by default but hyperlinks are not getting tagged after using the correct syntax by Slack documentation. Syntax : <https:example.com|Test Link> .

Hello @Rajesh Kumar Mishra - My apologies for the delays in our answers. I am responding on behalf of Anurag so please tag me for any future queries regarding this matter.

I confirm here that, as of this writing, the attachments field which includes the color-coding feature discussed above is yet to be supported in the Slack Connector. The team is tracking a backlog item for the feature but there isn't a specific ETA that we are able to share at this time.

From my own experience, you can usually create your own Custom Connector in these situations & make up for the missing pieces -- is it something you might be interested in exploring?

Thanks for the information I am not interested in exploring the custom explorer for now.

@Rajesh Kumar Mishra Apology for the delay. I have passed the feedback to the Slack connector team and unfortunately, there is no plan of exposing the attachments parameter which includes the color-coding feature in the near future. I will suggest you to post this feature request here so other community members can also upvote for this feature. The product team is reviewing the feedback/feature on these forums and based on the user requesting the same feature/improvement they prioritize the new feature/improvement.
