Hi @nickMarkatus 

Good question.

Please post screenshots with how you have your Slack step configured in order for us to have more context, thanks.

Are you using either of these fields?

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

here is my Configuration:
 

@nickMarkatus 

Looks like there is no value for the mapped variable, which may explain.

Make sure to test with a representative value.

Hi @Troy Tessalone can you explain in more detail what i should do?

@nickMarkatus 
Please provide screenshots with the attachment data points returned from the Zap trigger step.

@nickMarkatus 

We’d need to see the data returned related to the Attachments from the Zap trigger in Step 1, which is not shown in the screenshots, thanks.

@Troy Tessalone 

Hi, here is the Screenshot from Step 1 (Trigger), i hope you mean this. Sorry for the many Questions, but we are working with the Software for the first time .

@nickMarkatus 

We need see the data returned from the Zap trigger step related to the Attachments that you are trying to map into the other Zap steps.

@Troy Tessalone can you show me, what do you need? We don't know what you need. Do you need a Screenshot from Slack or a Screenshot from my Zapier Project? It is possible to send you my Account Information via privat Message? 

We have only one Zap project:
 

Is something missing in the settings, what exactly do we have to set and where? Maybe you can send us a picture what exactly is needed. Thank you for your help

@nickMarkatus

Please post screenshots with all the data points returned from the Zap trigger step, these will include the data points related to the Attachments.

This will come from the Zap trigger step in the Zap editor where you configure the Zap OR the DATA OUT tab for Step 1 in the Zap Runs.

Do you mean this?

@nickMarkatus 

Below is why the image is not being sent as expected to Slack...

Help article about using Files in Zaps: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/send-files-in-zaps

 The Teams Message content is a reference to an attachment (id), not an actual file URL (http).

The referenced attachments related data points don’t include a full URL to the attachment. (notice the ***/sites)

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

thank you for the Information. The URL is change by me (****), we have here a complete URL. 
When i add here a fix URL, than it works. When i add the 

then we have only the Attachment-ID. Code. In my Field-List i haven’t another File Items
 

Slack looks good (with the fixed URL)

@nickMarkatus 

The Attachments variable is an array of data.

If you only want the URL, then try mapping the contentURL variable to the Slack Message Text field.

If you are trying to attach a file to the Slack message then use the file variable.

(may show as file exists but not shown when trying to map the variable)

Hey @nickMarkatus! Were you able to get things working with Troy’s suggestion of using the “contentURL” to get the URL to populate within Slack? Let us know - we want to make sure you’re good to go here!

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

thank you for your Message. Can you tell me, how i read the contentURL from the attachment Field? When i Add the Field “Attachment” i see the complete Array in my Message. How can i read the contentURL from the Array? Do you have a Example for me?

Thank you

@nickMarkatus 

There should be other fields related to the attachments that you can map in the Zap steps.
Try searching for “contentURL”.

@Troy Tessalone Do you mean here? Here we have only “attachments”...

no contentURL

@nickMarkatus 

Try searching/scrolling thru the available data points to see if there is a value that matches the full URL or a file object that you can map.

@Troy Tessalone

Make sure the sample data being used is representative to configure and test your Zap.

How to change your trigger test data: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/change-the-test-data-in-your-zap-trigger

Otherwise, my advice would be to open a ticket with Zapier Support for further assistance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

thank you for your Support. This Link helps me https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/change-the-test-data-in-your-zap-trigger

Now i see the Attachment URL, but in Slack we see this:

After my Text, Zapier add automaticly the Attachment ID and the URL Link is not complete:

 
My Configuration:

 when i try this

We get this:

@Troy Tessalone Thank you for your Link. We try it! 

And it is possible to disable the <attachment id”…? This Add Zapier automaticly to the Message and send it to Slack.

Thank you
