Use Fields List to determine fields you'd like to exclude from being displayed in your Slack message (Name in this example).
Object Name, Message, Color, Url Base are expression fields. The data type of the value returned depends on the elements used in the expression. See the list of sample outputs under use case below.Here are sample outputs:
| Expression | Output |
|---|---|
test | test |
sObject.Name | ‘the name of this field in your org’ |
‘sObject.Name ’ | sObject.Name |
‘Hey, ‘+sObject.Name ’ | Hey, ‘the name of this field in your org’ |
Hey, +sObject.Name | Hey, +sObject.Name |
‘good’ | good |
sObject.colour_c | ‘the name of this field in your org’ |
sObject.CA10_severity_c== “High”? ‘danger’ : ‘good’ | danger/good |
