Change a text post to an image-only post

Hi ​@chrispottle 

For us to have more context about what you are referring to, post screenshots showing the Circle.so Zap step you are trying to configure/use.

So, the post is one where people put their names to join a group. That group closes each day and a new group is made from midnight onwards. This text post is OK but doesn’t really get noticed by the community. I want to put the image in to make a bigger impact to inform folks that they missed the previous day’s group and have to be added to the next group. This is a daily event.

Thanks so much for your help

Chris

Depends if Circle.so API supports file links.

You can try formatting as an image using HTML

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg">

Or maybe try markdown format.

Hi ​@chrispottle 

Here's the Clircle.so API doc that might help: link

If you're still running into issues getting your Circle.so comment to show as an image-only post, drop a screenshot of the error and a quick description of what your Zap is doing, happy to take a look!

Hey ​@chrispottle,

Circle API supports images but I don’t think it’s supported through the Create comment Zapier action. I don’t know if you can create a comment with image through the API but you can create an image post by directly querying the API using Webhooks in Zapier. Here is the API documentation for Create image post endpoint- https://api-headless.circle.so/?urls.primaryName=Admin%20API%20V2#/Posts/post_api_admin_v2_spaces__space_id__images_posts. Here is a helpful article about Webhooks in Zapier- https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496326446989-Send-webhooks-in-Zaps.

 

I know it can get a bit more technical and complex but if it’s important for you, you can give this approach a try. Hope it helps!
