Slack file upload not providing channel ID on first try via Zapier

Hi @Stan K 

We would need to see detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured to have full context.

Also, check your Zap Runs history to see which step resulted in an error and to see the DATA IN/OUT for each Zap step.

@Troy Tessalone I’ve provided screenshots, problem is that it only sends “channel data” after you upload same file twice. I’ll add more detailed screenshots.

Thanks for your help!

One way to address the error is to add a Filter as Step 2.

If you suspect it’s a bug, then you can try opening a ticket with Zapier Support: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

@Troy Tessalone The point is to upload files if somebody adds new file in a Slack channel. It works but only from second time because no channel ID comes back. And ofc you don’t want a person to upload a file twice only because of it.

It could be that the File is not uploaded to a Channel, perhaps via a private channel or an external connection.
