Slack WebHook , Can I send a silent message

Tags:

slack-api

My bot sends 2-3 messages at a time as apart of the conversation. This can get annoying when Slack beeps for every message. Is there a way to silence this. Facebook allows me to set a message type to silent to prevent beeps

What is an ephemeral message Slack?

This method posts an ephemeral message, which is visible only to the assigned user in a specific public channel, private channel, or private conversation. Ephemeral message delivery is not guaranteed — the user must be currently active in Slack and a member of the specified channel .

No, there is not "silence flag" for messages in Slack. Here are your other options to prevent "beeps":

Mute channel

You can mute a channel so you wont get any notification for it. See this link for our to mute channel in your Slack client.

Notification settings

You can turn-off the "beeps" for every new message, but still get visual notifications about new messages. See this link for how to change notification settings.
