No, I don't believe there's any way to draw a table in a Slack message.

Here are other available options for formatting Slack messages: https://api.slack.com/docs/formatting.

I have opened a ticket to Slack support asking if Slack's Incoming Webhook message supports table of any form (HTML or Markdown).

The official answer is that Slack messages do not support tables.

They suggest to generate a table and post it as an image.

They also said that they will add it to their backlog.

Not a html table specifically, but you may use a package like console.table to print your table's data into a string variable. Then use triple backticks to add your table in your slack message's text field. For example:

const cTable = require('console.table');

const table = cTable.getTable([

  {

    name: 'foo',

    age: 10

  }, {

    name: 'bar',

    age: 20

  }

]);

and then as part of your slack message's attachment:

const attachmentList = {

        "title": "YOUR TITLE",

        "text": 'HERE IS YOUR TABLE: : n ```'+table+'```',

    }
