Problem with sending bookmark:add call to Slack


Hi, 

Recently my slack integration (in terms of adding bookmarks in slack channels) stops working. 

There is and error: 

Failed to create a http request in Slack

This is a new feature! To take advantage of it, you'll need to reconnect your auth. Requires scope `bookmarks:write`. This error could also be generated because you are trying to pull objects (Mention, Reaction, etc) from a DM or private channel.

 

Step setup is: 

  • Slack
  • API Request (beta) 

And in Configure tab I have: 

This call is working when putting the same data here: https://api.slack.com/methods/bookmarks.add/test 

If it is working from the slack test page it means that my token is correct and my Scopes are also ok. 

So what changed recently and how can i fix it ?

Did this topic help you find an answer to your question?

The error message indicates that you need to reconnect your authentication to include the bookmarks:write scope. This is likely because Slack has updated its API requirements or your token no longer has the necessary permissions.

Reconnect Slack and ensure you grant the bookmarks:write scope during the OAuth process.

Even though the test page works, the token used in Zapier might not have the correct scopes. Slack tokens are tied to specific permissions, and if the token lacks the bookmarks:write scope, the API call will fail.

Ok but I am using the same token :) 
So how can token not have the correct scope if it is working from the test page, if on the test page there is information that the token needs to have the “bookmarks:write” scope. 

Reconnecting does not work - still the same error. 

Below my scopes:

 

If SLACK updated its API I do not see any info about that and page about “bookmakrs.add” is still the same. 

On top of that in the error there is info: 

This is a new feature! 

 

How it is a new feature if I was using it from past few months with success and in last week it stops working ?:)
