Unfurl Postman links and take action in Slack

After installing the Postman app for Slack, Postman links that you share in Slack are automatically unfurled into rich links. Postman supports rich links for elements such as workspaces, collections, folders, requests, examples, environments, and comments. Postman also supports rich links for HTTP responses.

When you share a Postman link, Slack displays extra information such as the name and type of element and who last updated it. Also, Slack displays options to take action with the element, such as adding a comment, or watching or forking a collection.

Postman also supports rich links for HTTP responses. Slack displays extra information such as the request URL and response code when you share a Postman link. Slack displays the response body for Postman links shared from team workspaces. For links shared from private workspaces or Partner Workspaces, Slack doesn’t display the response body and you must open Postman to view it. Learn how to share a response.

Switch Postman accounts with a slash command

Once you install the Postman app, you can use Slack slash commands to interact with Postman. For example, to list all slash commands, open Slack and enter /postman help.

If you use more than one Postman account, you may want to switch accounts to, for example, unfurl links that are only visible to one of your accounts. You can switch accounts with a slash command.

To switch Postman accounts with a slash command, do the following:

1. Open your Slack workspace.
2. In any conversation, enter /postman sign in. Slack returns who you’re signed in as and the team you belong to.
3. Click Sign In.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions.

Slack signs you into Postman with the account you choose. If you want to confirm who you’re signed in as, enter the slash command again.
