    Since images cannot send directly to slack, I would like to request that you allow for JSON webhooks so that we can parse the data directly, instead of the multipart/form-data requests your webhooks use now.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks fore reaching out to Jotform Support. To clarify, are you unable to send the file uploaded through your Form to slack? Please note that with our Slack integration, it is possible and easy to send images to your Slack workspace. Check out the screencast below to see my results:

    Integrating your form with Slack is easy, let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. Click the Integrations tab on the left column.
    3. Search for Slack, and click on it.
    4. Link your Slack account by clicking the Authenticate button or if you’ve already linked it, select the account from the dropdown.
    5. Next, configure your integration as you prefer and make sure that you have clicked on File Upload option, then click on Save at the bottom.
    6. Finally, click on Complete integration and on Finish.

    If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more, so I can help you better? 

    Reach out again if you have any other questions.

    I am using the image upload preview widget. The image link in this case comes through in an unclickable state.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for getting back to us. To clarify, are you referring to your form 231014926465050? If so, I checked the form, and it appears that the form is not integrated with Slack. Check out my screenshot below to see my result:

    Can you please try checking out my colleague's solution to see if it helps and fits your requirements? Also, it would help us to understand what’s happening if you could take a screen recording using Loom and send it to us.

    Give it a try, and let us know how it goes.
