I am wanting to send a slack message with a specific airtable field included, but the options in the slack message are only returning the airtables record ID and time created. The data out for the record finding of the airtable shows the field I need and its a step prior. Any ideas?

Ok, one option is for you to manually enter a static value to search for in Step 2, get a result record from Airtable, then map the desired field to future Zap steps, and lastly go back to step 2 and make that dynamic again.

Did you manually test Step 2 in your Zap and get a successful response?

This looks like test data.

Can you confirm you manually tested in the Zap step configuration and got a success response on Step 2?

 

Asking because the screenshot you provided is from a triggered Zap in the Zap Task History Log Details, which is different than in the Zap step setup.

I am unable to manually test this step as the trigger is an instant trigger that zapier does not catch when trying to test which in turn is unable to find a test record.
