Slack delayed/multiple reply

Slack allows you to send a reply to a slash command up to 5 times in 30 minutes.
Claudia Bot Builder, since 1.4.0, allows you to package and send delayed responses easily, using the .slackDelayedReply helper function.

The function expects two arguments:

slackDelayedReply(message, response);
  • message – object, the original message received by the bot builder for the primary request
  • response – string or object, the delayed response you want to send.

The function returns a Promise that you can use to chain requests.

The same rules as for normal responses apply, so if you send a string, it will be wrapped into a Slack response format. Send an object to avoid wrapping and use more advanced Slack features. You can also use the Slack Message Builder to create more complex responses easily.

Check out the Delayed Responses to Slack Slash Commands tutorial for a detailed walk-through of how to use this feature, and a full working example in the Example projects repository.
