I'm trying to send a notification with a mention of a user in a general channel. This is what I have:



<?php

namespace AppNotifications;

use IlluminateBusQueueable;
use IlluminateNotificationsMessagesSlackMessage;
use IlluminateNotificationsNotification;
use IlluminateContractsQueueShouldQueue;
use IlluminateNotificationsMessagesMailMessage;

class WeeklyTasksResponsible extends Notification
{
use Queueable;

protected $employee;

/**
* Create a new notification instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct(AppEmployee $employee)
{
$this->employee = $employee;
}

/**
* Get the notification's delivery channels.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return array
*/
public function via($notifiable)
{
return ['slack'];
}


/**
* Get the Slack representation of the notification.
*
* @param mixed $notifiable
* @return SlackMessage
*/
public function toSlack($notifiable)
{
return (new SlackMessage)
->content('Reponsible for this week is: ' . $this->employee->slack_name);
}
}


This will sent a weekly notification in the general slack channel of our company. The message is "Responsible for this week is: nameofuser". The problem is the user doesn't see a notification of this.



I've also tried do this:



public function toSlack($notifiable)
{
return (new SlackMessage)
->content('Reponsible for this week is: @' . $this->employee->slack_name);
}


But it isn't the same as mentioning someone myself in the channel.



How can I do this?

    According to their documentation, you have to set the link_names parameter to true/1. I don't have enough time to give you the solution myself, hope someone can help you. You can see an explanation in this answer.

  • Or just use the user ID instead of the user name and it should work. e.g. <@U12345678>

As mentioned by @HCK you can enable matching of usernames for @username mentions in chat.postMessages by setting the optional parameter link_names to true.



However, creating mentions with usernames is deprecated and should no longer be used.



The recommended approach is to create mentions with the user ID, which will work by default.



Example:



<@U12345678>


See the post A lingering farewell to the username from Slack for details about username deprecation.
