Hi @Carly P,

I think this is a part of Slack's design to reduce visual clutter within conversations. If the same person/bot sends multiple messages in a row within a short period of time, Slack will only display their profile picture (or icon) and name with the first message. Any subsequent messages will only display the message content since it's understood they're still from the same person/bot. If someone else contributes to the conversation or some considerable time has passed, the profile picture and name will again be displayed for clarity.

(Tested this on my end as well)

Hi there @Carly P,

As a quick test for a workaround, would you be able to use an image URL for the bot icon as in this example, instead of the icon name in slack directly?

Could you please give that a try, and let me know how it goes?
