Posting multi-line messages

[Roustem Karimov]

How could I post a multi-line message with WebHooks?

I can't find any information about this in Formatting docs: https://api.slack.com/docs/formatting

Hi Roustem,

You can embed newlines in JSON with a \n, so something like this works:

curl -X POST --data-urlencode 'payload={"text":"foo\nbar"}' https://my.slack.com/services/hooks/incoming-webhook?token=…

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Paul!

The trick was to use --data-urlencode flag. I had --data there instead and it didn't work.
