Download Media Files from Slack Messages

Description: This n8n workflow helps you capture Slack messages via a webhook and download attached media files (like images, documents, or videos) directly from those messages.

How it works: Slack Trigger (Webhook) – Listens for new messages in a Slack channel where the app is added. HTTP Request – Uses the file's private download URL to retrieve the media securely.

Use cases: Download files shared by team members in a Slack channel. Capture and process media from specific project or support channels. Prepare media for later processing, archiving, or review.

Requirements: Slack app with appropriate permissions (files:read, channels:history, etc.). Slack webhook set up to listen to channel messages.

  • Authenticated HTTP request to handle private Slack file URLs.

This template is ideal for users who want full control over file handling triggered by real-time Slack messages.
