Can I use JS when creating a Slack message?

Looking at this specifically:
https://the.fibery.io/search/lKqbY#User_Guide/Guide/Markdown-Templates-53

  1. Using entity fields:
    1. How can I list all the fields available in an entity?
    2. What are the default fields always present in an entity?
    3. Why is the syntax here and in formulae different? Very confusing that formulae, MD and JS all use different syntax it seems
  2. Hidden initialization
    1. Cool. But what does this mean? How do I use it?
    2. Overall, for these three shortcuts it would just be nice to list what output they generate too. :slightly_smiling_face: Especially as the comma-separated list has no space… so for UI purposes probably not that useful → ability to extend with custom separator string?
  3. Collection → Table formatting
    1. The intro talks about a document but the example shows a comment. I guess comments are also documents, but that wording is confusing.
    2. Also, maybe better to say: using this code [code] yields a result like this [screenshot of comment]. You can do this by setting up a button [screenshot of button automation]
  4. More complex formatting
    1. I suspect that my custom separators in a list is exactly this… but without a display of the result, I would have to test myself.
  5. Using Entities and Users
    1. And now the tutorial just breach light-speed: New syntax, new concepts of UUID of entity and user… can I link to them? What does it return? There is a raw example, not sure what that means, etc.
    2. I suspect that this would allow me to link to items from Slack, but again, it’s just VERY terse…

… and so on.

Hope this explains why I have all these questions and I think a bit of cleanup and expansion on this would empower a lot of us. :pray:
