Slack Attachment Actions

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi!

I'd like to use actions within Slack attachments (buttons etc). This works fine in the slack message builder, but watcher doesn't seem to like the syntax:

      "attachments": [
        {
          "color": "danger",
          "title": "XXXXXXXXXX",
          "title_link": "xxxxxxxxxxxf",
          "text": "xxxxxxxxxxxxx.",
           "actions": 
            {
              "type": "button",
              "name": "ack",
              "text": "Acknowledge",
              "url": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
              "style": "primary"
            },
            "fields": [
            {
              "title": "xxxxxxxxxx",
              "value": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
              "short": true
            },
            {
              "title": "xxxxxxx",
              "value": "xxxxxxxxxxx",
              "short": true
            }
          ]
        }
      ]

Everything else (fields, title etc) works.

message in Kibana:

Watcher: [parse_exception] could not parse message attachment field. unexpected field [actions]

Running 6.1.0 for all stack elements.

Thanks,
James

Hey,

you are right, this is currently not possible. I'll take a look what needs to be done to support this.
