FAQ
Q: Can I mention users or roles in the message?
A: Yes. Use Slack’s standard mention syntax (@username or @channel) inside the message text.
Q: Is message formatting supported?
A: Yes. You can use Slack’s Markdown-like formatting for bold, italics, and code blocks.
Q: Can I send attachments or rich blocks?
