HTML to Simple Text

[George]

All of the notifications coming out of my app currently are in HTML format. However I need to send some of the to Slack and it looks like Slack only accepts simple Text for these. So 2 questions for the group:

 1- Is there a way to send HTML formatted text to Slack?

 2- If answer to above is no, does anyone have a library that I can use to convert the simple HTML notifications to text?

 Thanks.

From this document, I thought that HTML might not be able to be directly used.

So, when you want to convert HTML to text data using Google Apps Script, how about the following script? When you use this script, please enable Drive API at Advanced Google services.

function myFunction() {

  const html = "###"; // Please set your HTML data.

  const id = Drive.Files.insert({title: "temp", mimeType: MimeType.GOOGLE_DOCS}, HtmlService.createHtmlOutput(html).getBlob()).id;

  const text = DocumentApp.openById(id).getBody().getText();

  DriveApp.getFileById(id).setTrashed(true);

  console.log(text) // You can retrieve the converted text data.

}

Thank you Tanaike. This worked perfectly for my purposes.
