Hi @Ryguy!

Thanks for your message, I’ve added you to the affected users for this issue. 

If you spot anything like this in the future where there’s already a thread open about a known issue, would you please add a reply on the thread rather than creating a new one? It helps us to keep the Community tidy - thank you!

I have been using Zapier to send Youtube videos to my Discord server and recently the zap is not including the thumbnail photo, only the link. I see this is known issue and would like to be added to thread.

Will this issue get fixed? It kind of destroys the purpose of the functionality since the thumbnail is one of the most important parts. Would be a shame.

Me too, same issue. Please add me in as well for updates

More specifically: This issue affects both YouTube thumbnails, and Instagram images posted to Discord for me. Sometimes it will show embedded images/videos, other times it will not. It will only show the link. This happens the majority of the time.

My Discord is also being affected by this!

Hi there,

I assume if you’re sending something to Discord that you’re using the Send Channel Message in Discord action. I don’t see a place in that action to specify a thumbnail or image. In fact, I see an existing feature request here to add the option to attach images/files when using that action, so I've gone ahead and added your vote for it. 

If that gets added, we’ll notify you via email. In the meantime, I don’t think that’s going to be possible, unfortunately.

 

Am having the same issue. It says it on discord but the thumbnail of the video does not appear.

I've had it basically work on more times not than when it actually displays a thumb nail photo.  Zappier has some cool features to do some interesting zaps . But for discord the solution I used and has worked perfectly is to go and use a different web hook / intergration which was mee6. This is actually a very well designed and very organized bot. Very user friendly . Following and posting the content of any website like you tube,  reddit, twitch or whatever... it has a thumbnail posted with the link to the video or content. Id suggest to do that for the time being until Zappier is able to fix the bug.  Which they acknowledged that there is no current fix atm.

I have the same issue :( is a fix in the work?
