Upload a file to Slack using the URL of the file

[davemw]

I’m trying to upload a file to Slack using the upload a file module. The file is located at a URL provided by a previous module.

I tried placing the URL in the data field in the Slack upload a file module, but this is not working.

What data is that field looking for?

You need to use the URL with the HTTP “Get a file” module to download the file’s data first.
