So, currently we’re facing problem where zapier processes the markdown text to format for slack. And the result of this formatting put like this in message text.
But when the message is being sent the characters for link
< >are actually escaped before sending to slack API and getting like this into message:
As a result the links in slack channel are broken and doesn’t work.
Is there any workaround to it?

Here’s the guide on how to send link to slack: https://zapier.com/help/doc/tips-formatting-your-slack-messages#links
Also you can use formatter > extract URL to get the URL first then add that formatted URL to slack message.

Hey
It would’ve work, if not the one thing. The text contains multiple links and there’s no way to recover their position in text after that :/

You should be able to use more logic in your Code step to properly prep the data to be formatted for Slack: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

But that’s makes things unnecessary complicated.
+14Can you show screenshots of how the data appears when sent to Slack?
I tested and was not able to replicate the escaping issue:
Try like this:
*< URL | Link >*Used a JavaScript Code step and was unable to replicate the issue.

Can you show a screenshot with the full URL output?
