Hello new guy here. I'm trying to set up something so when a specific twitter user sends out a message it gets posted in a discord channel. The issue I'm having is when the tweet URL gets posted to discord it's not one whole link there seems to be a paragraph being added in the middle of the URL. See screenshots.

@Battlezone98 Hi and thanks for posting in our Community! Happy to help.

I took a quick look around and I think I may have found the issue. In one of your Zaps that does work fine, you mapped the field expanded_url in your Twitter step, and it showed up correctly in your Discord step.

In the Zap that I saw that did not work, you mapped the field url in your content area. Upon a closer look, the url field has a line break in the middle of the link, just as it shows on your screenshot.

So to summarize: Use the expanded_url field to map into your Discord step to get the result you showed on your bottom screenshot.

Please let me know if you have further questions!
