sending attachments / images?

the demo examples here just send a text response, vis:

+       response = text.split('').reverse().join('');
+       channel.send(response);
+       console.log('@%s responded with "%s"', slack.self.name, response);

can this node package be used to send other types of messages, or attachments?

I’ve tried sending JSON like:

 if (reply) {
        // channel.send(reply.string);
        msgpack = {
          type: "message",
          text: reply.string,
          icon_url: "http://laorquesta.mx/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/bikers-300x225.jpg",
          attachment: {
            "color": "#36a64f",
            "title": "drifter bot",
            "title_link": "http://superscriptjs.com/starter/quickstart"
          }
        }
        // channel.send(JSON.stringify(msgpack))
        channel.send(msgpack)

but just get an error back:

{ code: 2, msg: 'message text is missing' }

I found out, what the problem was / is. You NEED to JSON encode the ‘attachments’ argument, so the ‘attachments’ is actually a string and not an object. Then it should work. At least for me that worked.

The >= 2.0.0 release will now check this for you, so should be a little easier to use, you can see where it’s doing that here
