Slack recently updated their save element feature, apparently this broke the trigger, ad it does not work anymore.
I was using it in a zap where each time a user saved a message from slack, the zap copied it in a trello board, it worked just fine until slack updated their feature.
Any idea on how to fix it?

Hi folks! 👋
The New Saved Message trigger has been fixed in terms of saved messages from public/private channels. But, for saved messages in DMs (Direct Messages) it’s still not always triggering. So there’s a new bug report that has been created for that. We’ll be tracking users that are experiencing issues in triggering from saved DM messages here in this new topic:
I’m going to close out this thread now, so to follow along with any developments please subscribe to that other topic. And if you’re having issues with triggering from saved DMs too, please reach out there and we’ll get you added to the new bug report. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks! I tried this and the workaround does not work for me as I need to go into an extra menu to trigger the push to Zapier. I can’t simply click a single “save for later” button, which is accessible on all Slack messages without an extra click.
Hi - also having the same issue, except my action is to send an email to an address (I’m using it to add saved messages in Slack to my Sunsama backlog).
Hi Charie -- I’m also affected by this and would like to be added to the bug report. I use the saved message feature to push Slack messages (mobile and desktop) to Things3 to be added to my to-do list. I didn’t realize how much I used it until it stopped working 😂 Thanks.
Please add me to the list as well. It took me days to realize this wasn’t working, and as a result, many balls were dropped at work. I’m using the solution provided by @alexisg in the meantime, but I would rather have the “save” button work as it is way more straightforward. Thank you!

Agreed — that solution works but is a bit cumbersome.
@alexisg ok, so just to clarify with this new action, you have to click the three dots button in Slack, select “Push to Zapier”, choose the option to select the zapier zap from the dropdown and click Push?
