Using python script in Incoming Webhook

Troubleshooting
21

Have a look here for what fields you can use in a webhook:
https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html#example-message-attachment

In theory the call should look similar to this like this:

call_webhook('84kk9emcdigz8xta1bykiymn5e', options={"attachments": [
      "fallback": "test",
      "color": "#FF8000",
      "pretext": "This is optional pretext that shows above the attachment.",
      "text": "This is the text of the attachment. It should appear just above an image of the Mattermost logo. The left border of the attachment should be colored orange, and below the image it should include additional fields that are formatted in columns. At the top of the attachment, there should be an author name followed by a bolded title. Both the author name and the title should be hyperlinks.",
      "author_name": "Mattermost",
      "author_icon": "http://www.mattermost.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/icon_WS.png",
      "author_link": "http://www.mattermost.org/",
      "title": "Example Attachment",
      "title_link": "http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html"
}]})

This code helped me. Here’s a working version. (I changed “http” to “hXXXttp” because I’m a new user and hit the URL limit.)

mm.webhooks.call_webhook(
    'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
    options={
        "attachments": [{
            "fallback": "testing",
            "color": "#FF8000",
            "pretext": "This is optional pretext that shows above the attachment.",
            "text": "This is the text of the attachment. It should appear just above an image of the Mattermost logo. The left border of the attachment should be colored orange, and below the image it should include additional fields that are formatted in columns. At the top of the attachment, there should be an author name followed by a bolded title. Both the author name and the title should be hyperlinks.",
            "author_name": "Mattermost",
            "author_icon": "hXXXttp://www.mattermost.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/icon_WS.png",
            "author_link": "hXXXttp://www.mattermost.org/",
            "title": "Example Attachment",
            "title_link": "hXXXttp://docs.mattermost.com/developer/message-attachments.html",
        }],
    },
)
