How Do I send an attachment from Gmail to a Slack message? Right now I can get a link to download that attachment, but I want the attachment instead directly in the message or snippet of the attachment, or snippet of my mail as it has an alert from metabase.

Try using the File field in the Slack Zap action to send a Message.

I can’t find the file field in my Slack Zap action. Instead, there is “Attach Image by URL” as shown in the image attached. But it is not sending the attachment in the message to slack.
Also, is there any way to get the snapshot of the mail and send it as an image to slack?
