Implement functionality to easily produce messages in the new block format #422

Open mubiquity opened 5 years ago

mubiquity commented 5 years ago

The slack api has a new format for posting messages which can be found here. It lends itself well to modular message construction.

Adding some form of interface for constructing block based messages would be useful for reducing the amount of work required to make better formatted and potentially more interactive scripts (easily use datepickers and buttons etc).

The new !crates command (#413) has an extremely simplistic interface for creating block messages but that doesn't really belong there.
