I have been trying for 4 days to make a connection with Slack using make.com .
PROBLEM:
In the module “watch private channel messages” i want to have the “Input method : select from list” and the private channel “Sergio CHANNEL” but nothing comes up, so i cannot advance.
WHAT STEPS I WANT TO CREATE?
I am connecting Make to Airtable
Airtable will download the files sent thru slack (like audio, video or image) and put it in / download it to the Airtable database.
The start would be a “watch private channel messages” then connect to “download a file” (like audio, video or image).
I will have the connection with other people and me or other people can upload a file (like audio, video or image).
ADDITIONALLY
But other times i will send a URL in the slack chat and i want make to do pick up the URL and put it into Airtable… does that need some additional?
WHAT I HAVE DONE UNTIL NOW?
I have followed the steps and have set the Oauth permissions for both user AND bot, user only, and bot only. The manual (https://www.make.com/en/help/app/slack) does not say anything about creating an API and using the “User OAuth Token” that starts with “xoxp-111…”.
QUESTIONS
(1) Do I have to create a user or a bot or both?
(2) When making a connection in make and click “Advanced” do I have to put something in “Scope”? If so, what?
(3) In the same advanced window, do i only have to put the Client ID and Client Secret? please someone explain what to do
(4) Do I have to install the “Slack App” into my workspace?
(5) Do I have to do something with OAuth Tokens?
(6) Id the app is installed in my workspace do i have to delete it and install it?
Hey I got it working, BUT now i have a problem with these:
(1) HTTP module does not read some URLs:
(a) Related to this, a URL for example: www.forbes.com/an-article → it extracts the text without any problems
(b) If I use some other URLs, a 404 error message appears like the ones below. Can you help me get this fixed or how to overcome this and read the page? Please share a step by step guide or general advice on how to solve this problem. Is there a solution that do not cost? is there a solution that costs is this a monthly payment?
(2) TWITTER posting, I wanted to test some tweets derived from the content contained in the URLs, but some times it worked and MANY times more it does not. How can i test the Twitter module if some how it does not process the order and this counts towards Twitter rule of not spamming or posting similar or same tweets. It is a test after all, i don’t plan to do this all the time, it is just a nightmare to test 1 or 2 times max every 2 days. Even now, i don’t know how to go about this. what do you recommend?
A couple of things about the second post you made.
I pretty sure coping a part of or in it’s whole, an article and posting it on X (Twitter) goes against copyright law.
I am in no way a legal advisor. No comments should be taken as legal advices and I do not want to contribute to any such activities. Just to be clear.
So in the context of Make.com
A 404 is a “page does not exist” so some of the links is not valid og might be inaccessible when sending them in?
Link: HTTP 404 - Wikipedia
From the Error text you provided, is the %%PUBLISH_URL_REPLACEMENT%%, something you added or is the screenshot the raw data output from the error?
