I use Make and Slack to send notifications to myself and others in my workgroup.
Today, I discovered that the “Upload a File” Slack module in Make cannot be used with a bot connection (only user connections are available in the dropdown menu).
The problem is, when I use a user connection to send DMs to myself, Slack places the messages in the conversation with myself without triggering any notifications. For this reason, I need the messages to come from a bot, which does trigger a proper alert.
After spending hours looking into this, I found a workaround, but it’s far more complicated than the “Upload a File” module.
Is this really the only option for Make users? Would it be possible to enhance the “Upload a File” module to support bot connections as well?
The issue was already highlighted in this previous topic: Upload a file to Slack using a bot connection and the Make an API Call module
