Message Format

Verilock sends structured Slack messages using Block Kit: 
{
  "channel": "C04XXXXXXXX",
  "text": "KYC Session Declined - ses_a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "blocks": [
    {
      "type": "header",
      "text": {
        "type": "plain_text",
        "text": "Session Declined"
      }
    },
    {
      "type": "section",
      "fields": [
        { "type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Session ID:*\nses_a1b2c3d4e5f6" },
        { "type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Risk Score:*\n78 / 100" },
        { "type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Reason:*\nDocument tampering detected" },
        { "type": "mrkdwn", "text": "*Applicant:*\njean@example.com" }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "actions",
      "elements": [
        {
          "type": "button",
          "text": { "type": "plain_text", "text": "View in Dashboard" },
          "url": "https://verilock.io/dashboard/sessions/ses_a1b2c3d4e5f6"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
Messages include a View in Dashboard button that links directly to the session or screening result for quick review.

​
Troubleshooting

Verify the bot has been invited to the channel. Check that the Bot Token is valid and has chat:write scope. Review failed deliveries in Dashboard > Logs > Integrations.
Slack allows approximately 1 message per second per channel. If you process high volumes, consider routing low-priority events to a separate channel or disabling verbose events like session.completed.
If your workspace admin revokes the app, re-install it from the Slack App settings page and update the Bot Token in Verilock.
