Hello,

I'm trying to forward an SMS to Slack, via a webhook.
The following works, but I can only manage to send a static JSON.
I'm not sure how to interpolate the SMS text in the JSON, and how to deal with escaping the text in the JSON.

Trigger:
Trigger Type: SMS Received

Action:
Action Type: HTTP Request
URL: https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ
Request Method: POST

Content Type:
General Text
application/json

Data:
{'{"text":"Hello, World"}'}

Any idea how to get this to work?
As a temporary workaround, I got something to work via the "Forward SMS to mail" flow in the catalog, but it's not ideal.

You can create the json dynamically from the script. If you need only the sms text, you can create the json like this. where {sms_text} is the variable provided by the trigger SMS received, which contains the text messsage.

Use {js} in the Data field in the HTTP post. Any special character will be escaped properly.
