Request URL not receiving anchor link in the text when sent via slash commands

See original GitHub issue

Description

Request URL (The URL to request when the slash command is run) not receiving anchor link in the text when sent via slash commands

Using slash command, i’m sending a text with anchor link say “test link”
But to my request URL, I’m just receiving “test link” not the anchored hyperlink https://github.com/

What type of issue is this? (place an `x` in one of the `[ ]`)

Requirements (place an `x` in each of the `[ ]`)

I’ve read and understood the Contributing guidelines and have done my best effort to follow them.
I’ve read and agree to the Code of Conduct.
I’ve searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Steps to reproduce:

Configure a slash command with a request URL
Send a message using that slash command with some anchor link
Check you are receiving the message in the request url, without the hyperlink anchored

Expected result:

Anchored hyperlink should be sent along with the text i sent

Actual result:

Anchored hyperlink is not sent to my request url, only the text is sent

Attachments:

this is coming to my request url as “this is a link test”

Couldn’t find any proper documentation as well with this scenario as well.

@vilvasri-subramanian Thanks for double-checking the escape setting for me!

I’ve recreated your issue locally and can confirm that I’m experiencing the same issue.

While recreating the issue, I noticed that the Slack API response does not escape embedded links (like this one). However, it does escape raw links (e.g. https://github.com).

Next up ⏭️ I’m going to look into whether this is a documentation mistake or a known bug with the Slack API slash command request.

I’ll get back to you shortly!

@mwbrooks I tried with & without “escaping links” enabled. In both the cases, i cant see the anchored hyperlink
