I'm trying to make confirmation slack button while running slash command. e.g. I run slash-command (/test) it sends the POST request to my python app which sends back 2 buttons (Confirm, Cancel). User presses one of the buttons slack triggers an action and sends another POST request to my app. All is working fine before this step - I cannot handle the data from 2nd POST request correctly.
In the Slack documentation I found this:
When an action is invoked, a request will be sent to the app's Request URL as configured above; the request body will contain a payload parameter that your app should parse for JSON.
When I do
data=json.loads(request.form["payload"])
return jsonify(data)
I get
{
"action_ts": "XXXX",
"actions": [
{
"name": "confirm",
"type": "button",
"value": "confirm"
}
],
"attachment_id": "X",
"callback_id": "XXXX",
"channel": {
"id": "XXXX",
"name": "XXXX"
},
"is_app_unfurl": false,
"message_ts": "XXXX",
"response_url": "XXXX",
"team": {
"domain": "XXXX",
"id": "XXXX"
},
"token": "XXXX",
"trigger_id": "XXXX",
"type": "interactive_message",
"user": {
"id": "XXXX",
"name": "XXXX"
}
}
After when I call
data=json.loads(request.form["payload"])
action=data["actions"]
return jsonify(action)
I get
[
{
"name": "confirm",
"type": "button",
"value": "confirm"
}
]
Now when I'm trying to get value of "name" with action["name"] I receive the error
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str
I tried json.dumps(action) and json.dumps(action["name"]) neither of them worked.
How to read that values? I need to check value of name and then do the rest with it.
