Block Actions Interactions Payload Inquiry

Hello,

I’m experimenting with the Slack Bolt Python API and its block actions interaction. In the function decorator, what is the value or string that the decorator should attempt to match?

@app.block_action("________")

Reproducible in:

The slack_bolt version

slack-bolt==1.4.4
slack-sdk==3.4.2
slackclient==2.9.3

Python runtime version

Python 3.8.5

OS info

Nah

Steps to reproduce:

Source Code

app = AsyncApp(token="...")

blocks = [
{
            "type": "actions",
            "elements": [
                {
                    "type": "button",
                    "text": {
                        "type": "plain_text",
                        "emoji": True,
                        "text": "Approve"
                    },
                    "style": "primary",
                    "value": "click_me_1"
                },
                {
                    "type": "button",
                    "text": {
                        "type": "plain_text",
                        "emoji": True,
                        "text": "Deny"
                    },
                    "style": "danger",
                    "value": "click_me_2"
                }
            ]
        }]

@app.event("app_mention")
async def app_mention(client, event, say):
    channel = event['channel']
    ts = event['ts']
    await client.chat_postMessage(
                    channel=channel,
                    thread_ts=ts,
                    blocks=blocks
                )

@app.block_action("________")                        <-- What should this decorator check for?
async def deny(ack, respond):
    await ack()
    await respond("Deny")

async def main():
    handler = AsyncSocketModeHandler(app, "...")
    await handler.start_async()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())

Expected result:

Slack Bolt API to register the listener and handle the block_action request via apt listener

Actual result:

Logs:

DEBUG:slack_bolt.AsyncApp:Checking listener: app_mention ...
DEBUG:slack_bolt.AsyncApp:Checking listener: deny ...
WARNING:slack_bolt.AsyncApp:Unhandled request ({'type': 'block_actions', ...

@DataGreed If you don’t set action_id for a block element, a random value would be set. We highly recommend setting your own unique value for easily handling interactivity events.
