Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a Zap that should send a message to an existing Slack thread triggered by a workflow.

 

Here’s the issue:

 

I’m using Find Message + Send Channel Message to reply to a specific thread that appears daily in a Slack Channel

 

The message has the same title every day. When I run the Zap using my login account, it finds an old message from January instead of today’s message.

 

However, when my coworker uses their login with the exact same setup, the Zap works correctly and replies in the correct (current) thread.

 

We’re both using the same channel and the Slack app is already added.

 

What I’ve tried:

 

Reconnected my Slack Account

Rebuilt the Zap from scratch

Checked permissions and shared everything

Changed the message title to test variations

 

Still, it keeps pulling the wrong thread when I use my account.

 

Any ideas why this might happen? 

Could it be a bug tied to my login?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Hi ​@Jaques31 

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how your Slack Find Message Zap step is configured in EDIT mode.

Check the field tooltips to help you configure these fields:

  • Search Query
  • Sort By
  • Sort Direction

 

Hey ​@Jaques31, just checking in! Did Troy’s reply help to point you in the right direction? 

Let us know if you still need any help, want to make sure that Find Message action gets sorted! 🙂
