Hello developers all over the world!

I’m trying to connect discourse to slack using webhooks.

I’ve done most of things but only one thing is left.

when you create a new topic in discourse, you send payload which has a lot of parameters to slack.

however, slack only get ‘text’ parameter. so I want to customize payload when using webhooks.

how do I change payload when using webhooks in discourse?

thanks for reading!
