I have an Airtable automation that finds a list of records and then send a Slack message that includes this list. When I send via email I get the option to include grid or list, but when I use Slack the only option is list...which I really don't like the look of.

I found some older threads on here asking about this but it seems like there's no good solution. Someone mentioned forwarding the grid message from email to Slack, but I don't like how it shows up in Slack so not an option for me.

Any other ideas on workarounds?

The reason that Airtable won't let you send a grid to Slack is because the grid is an HTML table, and Slack doesn't accept HTML code for its messages.

There's not really a workaround to accomplish this in Slack, so your best bet would probably be to just create an interface page in Airtable that shows the data you want your team to see, and then share that page's URL via Slack.

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire the best Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld
