Hi I created a Zap to send attached files to Slack Channel by zapier webhook. I post multiple files with separated params and the Slack action File field can see those params from webhook trigger step but zapier sent me only the first file. What I did do wrong?

Hi @Jame051 

Good question.

Those fields in the Slack action only support 1 file.

Thanks for your answer.
Is any possible way to attach multiple files in the same message?
Is Zapier provided some function to automate compressing those files?

You can use the Looping app to send multiple messages: one per file

Or you’d have to explore using the Slack API via the API Request action: https://api.slack.com/methods/files.upload
