Slack formatting limited

Hi, I have a formatting issue where using the "Send Channel Message (Using Block)" there is no way to change the Message Blocks 0 Type is always 'context', meaning whatever posted back into Slack is small (the type is the Blocks Kit 'Context'). Entering Blocks code to set the type has no effect. Is it possible to change this?

I have a few different workflows using this and it is a problem with the connection/action/options, but here is one for an example:

1743203412531.png



My posts look like this:

Instead of like this, where the nesting is handled correctly and the overall type is not stuck in a context block:

Here is a link to the Slack API explaining the useage of type: context.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter and all the best,
Sam

Hello @NBMath,

Sorry, are the screenshoots and explaination not enough? A video will not really be that different as the forms and response data along with the current result vs the wanted result that I have already provided.

Unless this is a feature that doesn't exist (people seem to be using Pabbly to post in Slack and I don't believe the cramped formatting is all there is?) but I wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes to current choices/handling of the markup.

I can try to record it but as I said, it's not really an issue with trigger and response but of formating.

Please advise.

Thanks
