HALP! I can’t find what I’m missing. I use Slack Search in previous step to get a message. That message is usually a thread reply but it has both thread_TS and TS value.
The TS should be the parent message for that thread so I then use the Slack Get Message by Timestamp action to do… that. What is returned is NOT the message with that timestamp TS value.
Instead it seems to be some random message that’s around the same day. The TS value is not the same, and the output value that matches is “Oldest” which equals the TS value I put in.
But the “Messages TS” value is no the TS of the message I put in.
Am I crazy? I expected the TS value I search for to be the TS value of the massage I get back. I’ve checked, and it is not the right Parent message for the thread that comes back. Just some seemingly random post around the same time.
