Links with ampersand do not work in Slack iOS app #2103
Comments
Hi @mdesousa, we appreciate your time and effort in reporting this issue and apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced. This is indeed an issue on Slack's iOS app end and we're unable to provide a concrete timeline for its resolution. In the meantime, please consider the following workaround to deal with it: const client = new WebClient(process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, { logLevel: "debug" });
(async () => {
const repsonse = await client.chat.postMessage({
channel: "<channel id>",
text: "Click this: <https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=chocolate+chip+cookies|Search Google>",
blocks: [
{
type: "rich_text",
elements: [
{
type: "rich_text_section",
elements: [
{ type: "text", text: "Click this: " },
{
type: "link",
url: "https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=chocolate+chip+cookies",
text: "Search Google",
},
],
},
],
},
],
});
console.log(repsonse);
})(); I understand this could be frustrating but I hope this was helpful to you for the time being. |
thanks @seratch. is there a repo for the iOS app where I can report this issue directly to them.
|
Actually, was able to write a bit of code to create blocks from mrkdwn with links... hope it helps others. The only issue is that it loses other mrkdwn formatting that aren't links...
|
sorry @mdesousa no such repo exists but I will raise this internally |
Interestingly on my iPhone, the unfurled preview links correctly, but the actual linked markdown text is not linked. |
