Automatically transform @here and such into <!here>

[DiogoRibeiroTalkdesk]

Is @here supported when sendig messages via 'chat.postMessage'?

Thanks

That's more of a slack question, but I don't see why not. I would try to see what a bot receives when someone posts @here on a channel, maybe it's a well known ID?

According to slack api they need to be formated: https://api.slack.com/docs/formatting#variables

Just send <!here> in the text, it will work. I'll close this, reopen if it doesn't.

That was our solution, couldn't this be made by the client itself?

I suppose the client could translate this for you, I'll reopen this issue as a feature request. However this feels a little too much automation for the developer when the client is a wrapper for an API and supposed to remain mostly just that.
