MetaData doesn't work with `PostMessage`

[nivzx]

What happened

Assigning metadata with client.PostMessage, it didn't work.

Expected behavior

Assigning MetaData using MsgOptionPostMessageParameters() (like in here) should include given key-value pair in the message metadata.

Steps to reproduce

• Post a message to a channel with MetaData defined, and log the received message event. In the posted message event, the event_type and event_payload of MetaData are empty.

...
"metadata": {
    "event_type": "",
    "event_payload": null
},
...

reproducible code

package handlers

import (
	"github.com/slack-go/slack"
)

func main {
	api = slack.New("xoxb-xxx")

	// Define PostMessageParameters
	messageParameters := slack.PostMessageParameters{
		MetaData: slack.SlackMetadata{
			EventType: "reaction_added",
			EventPayload: map[string]interface{}{
				"event_id": "123",
			},
		},
	}

	// Post a message to a channel with the created messageParameters
	_, _, err := api.PostMessage(
		"channel-name",
		slack.MsgOptionText("Hello", false),
		slack.MsgOptionPostMessageParameters(messageParameters),
	)
}

@nivzx did you find a solution to this? I am seeing the same thing after updating.

@johnmikee afair this worked for me.

messageMetadata := slack.MsgOptionMetadata(slack.SlackMetadata{
	EventType: "channel_alert",
	EventPayload: map[string]interface{}{
		"id": "SIDNVWEGSDV",
		"name": "ABC",
	},
})

_, timestamp, err := SlackAPI.PostMessage(
	channelID,
	slack.MsgOptionText("Hello", false),
	messageMetadata,
)
