Slack Reaction Emoji Metadata: API Limitation or Oversight on Missing User and Message URL?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

I noticed meta data based on a “Slack reaction emoji” doesn’t contain the user who posted the message that’s being reacted to, or a link / URL back to that message. Two handy things if you’re making a todoist task based on a certain reaction. Not sure if this is an API limitation or an oversight.

Hello , may I ask which specific Slack source you’re mentioning?

Slack - New Reaction Added (Instant)

Hi , I’ve created a ticket here to improve the Slack - New reaction added (instant) source. After it is implemented, you can re-create the source, set the new Include User Data prop to true, then each event should include user data.

For now as a workaround, you can add additional Node.js/Python/Bash code step to call Slack user info API with the User ID in the event to get information about the user
