Understanding the read:file permission issue in the Slack integration

Hey guys,

 

We have been using a lot the Slack integration to automate the reading of files via API.

Unfortunately it looks like something changed in the latest update of the connection between Slack & Zapier, as the files:read permission has been revoked.

When I copy and paste the “Legacy” API step in my flows, it still works.

 

Is it something that has been changed by design or is it something that was changed mistakenly?

 

This is a major issue for our business, would love to have an answer on this as soon as possible…

 

Thanks,
Philippe

Hi there ​@Philippe - Joy,

Welcome to the Community! 🎉

Before we dig deeper into this, would you mind sharing a detailed screenshot of how your Zap is configured? Also, please send a screenshot of the “files:read permission” data that you’re seeing on your end. This will help me take closer look at the issue that you’re encountering.

Please don't include personal information in the screenshot, or be sure blur out any personal information.

Thanks!
