Available settings
The Slack settings are defined at the template level from the Notifuse interface when you create/update a template.
If you don't plan to create your templates via API, or overwrite some settings at the last minute when you send a message (via API), you can skip the following table.
However it can be useful to overwrite some settings when you send a message from the API, like the attachments parameter to attach a formatted content.
