I have a zap that will upload an image to Google Drive that is posted to a certain channel within my Slack group. My employees will upload an image with “CUSTOMERNAME JOB####” to the post. Is it possible to have my zap name the image file “CUSTOMERNAME JOB####” when it uploads the file into google drive?
I see the field where I can choose the name of the file, but I do not see a way to select the slack text message as the file name.
Thank you!

Hi
Good question.
We would need to see screenshot with how your Zap steps are configured.
Under “File Name” I do not see any data from the post. It just seems to pull in data from the image file that was submitted, which makes sense.
If I change “new file” to “new message” I can see the message that was posted, but I can not upload the image.

If the file was submitted as it’s own message in Slack that may be why.
Here is what is posted into slack. I would love to get the green circled “message” to be the file name (instead of IMG_4374) once it gets uploaded to Google Drive.

Try mapping the Text variable.
There is no text variable

Can you show screenshots with the data points returned from the Zap step?

Ah ok, this is where I was getting confused.
The Zap step name and event don’t match.
The Zap trigger for Slack New File will only have info about the file.

You may want to consider setting up a form for people to submit to capture the file and data points in a structured manner.
Maybe even look into Slack Workflows.
