Hi community,
I'm attempting to have new messages posted in a slack channel fill a row in a google sheet. However, when building the Zap, I am only given the threaded comments text as an option to select to fill the row, not the original message text.
Why is this? I’d like to choose the main message text to fill the row and then secondarily choose any threaded texts to fill a new column in that same row.
If anyone has successfully tackled this, please let me know how!
Hi there
If you’re using the New message posted in channel trigger then you should see the original message in the field called ‘Text’
If you only want the Zap to trigger on original messages (and not threaded responses) then you’ll need to add a filter to the Zap. Set the filter so that it’s looking for the field ‘thread.ts’ and use the filter condition ‘Does not Exist’
That means that the Zap will only continue if there is no thread timestamp (ie that the message is not in a thread).
I hope that helps!
