Hello everyone,

I succeed to create a flow from slack to google spreadsheet. The goal is to create a row in the google file after posting a message in slack. Differents elements are transfered into the spreadsheet: person that create the post, channel, web link… 
My problem is that I want to add the text that is written by the person in the message and separate it from the link. 
I sanyone know how to separate these informations?

Tks

Hi ​@Ludovic,

If you can post screenshots of the test output from the trigger as well as the configuration tab of the Sheets step, we’d be able to help you more precisely. However, if the text from the Slack message is not sent as a separate field, you can probably use a Formatter, Code, or AI by Zapier to extract it from whatever field it’s included in. Then map that into the Sheet.
