Use Cases

  • To help you build common Block Kit actions with Jsonnet, Courier has several Jsonnet template blocks to choose from such as buttons, drop-downs, images, and more.
  • You can also build your own Block Kit elements from scratch. The Jsonnet Block expects a single Block Kit element or an array of elements.
