Work with Shortcuts

The following are Apex classes for working with shortcuts.

ShortcutDispatcher Class

Defines the dispatcher for the shortcut you are handling.

Usage

When a user interacts with your shortcut, your app receives an interaction payload. Your handler processes that payload and then sends a response. See Handle Slack Actions.

To respond to an interaction payload, always send an acknowledgement response, follow up with a modal to confirm any action that occurs next. See Slack API: Responding to shortcuts.

ShortcutDispatcher Methods

ShortcutDispatcher has the following method.

invoke(parameters, context)

Invokes the action handler.

2  Slack.ShortcutParameters parameters,
3  Slack.RequestContext context
4);

context

Type: Slack.RequestContext
