Syncing Slack data related to message file attachments

Summary

The user is facing an issue where Slack message file attachments are not being synced to BigQuery despite having the necessary configurations. They are looking for ideas on why this might be happening.


Question

Does anyone know how to sync Slack data related to message file attachments?

I’ve got a connection from Slack → BigQuery enabled and working:
• All streams and fields within those streams are enabled
• The Slack bot has an OAuth scope of file:read enabled
Investigating a specific Slack message which has a screenshot:
• The corresponding BigQuery raw records don’t contain anything related to the screenshot
• Performing a manual export of the Slack workspace and checking the data shows a files key in the JSON message corresponding to that Slack message
So for some reason, this isn’t being synced… ideas?
