Discord "Find Channel" no longer returns Channel ID (or anything)

The “Find Channel” function with Discord used to return specific details about the channel, including the Channel ID which is needed for a subsequent step to send a message to said channel.

Now, the only thing that is returned is: 

_zap_search_was_found_status

true

This must have broken during an update.

Hi @DieselEffect 

Good question.

I was able to get successful results testing the Zap action: Discord - Find Channel

Were you able to sort this?

I just ran into the exact same thing. Only says true, but no payload is loaded.

Hi ​@ignaciotero,

 

If you're having issues with the "Find Channel" function in Discord, it could be due to a recent update or a temporary glitch. Try troubleshooting by reconnecting Discord to Zapier, updating and re-testing your Zap, and ensuring the bot has the proper permissions to access channel details.

If you're still having trouble, please provide more details about the issues you're facing, and I'd be more than happy to assist you further.
