Posting as Slack bot doesn't give the same detail as posting as a user

I have noticed that when we set the Slack token type as a bot here:

and post a link to a Clickup link to a Slack channel, it doesn't give the same level of detail as it does for users. Here is an example to show you what I mean:

I would like to see the same level of detail when a bot posts as it does for a user - is this possible? Or is this a limitation imposed by the Slack API?

I should also mention that the action with the bot had this option set to true

Can you please allow us some time, to do some testing on your desired conditions? So that we can suggest you accordingly.

Hey @jonbstrong

We have also tried with both the token type and we are receiving the same data message in response.

Please check the following short recorded video once -

Right, I think what you're missing here is that when I have the Clickup app installed in Slack, the user sent message unfurls, with the additional options. This doesn't happen when posting using the bot token
