Jsonnet Block

Availability: Slack and Microsoft Teams integration only.

Jsonnet is a JSON to JSON templating language, which means that combining Jsonnet with your user data allows you to build and send dynamic, custom Slack blocks in your notifications.

Inserting a Jsonnet Block using the Courier notification designer.

Use Cases

Send dynamic, custom Slack blocks in your notifications.

  • To help you build common Block Kit actions with Jsonnet, Courier has several Jsonnet template blocks to choose from such as buttons, drop-downs, images, and more.

  • You can also build your own Block Kit elements from scratch. The Jsonnet Block expects a single Block Kit element or an array of elements.
