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.
