"Automated with n8n" Footer (UPDATE)

When using Slack Update Node, I am getting the footer “Automated with this n8n workflow”

For “Send” a new message, this has been addressed here:

However, there is no option to switch off the footer when using “Update”. There is only: Link User with Channel and Parse

n8n Self-hosted
V 1.42.1

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

@myWebmaster , when I tested, the Update operation actually replaces the “old” message with the new one and “Include Link to Workflow” option is not there indeed. However, as it is not there the update operation replaces the whole old message with the new one including the “Automated with this n8n workflow” string. In other words, it is removed automatically without the need to be explicit.

Same issue with N8N Self hosted 1.44.1.

No issue with removing the footer on Sending a message, but even if the original message has the footer removed, upon the Update Message node updating it the footer is re-added without an option to remove it.

The Update Message node only has the additional options of:

  1. Link User and Channel Names
  2. Parse

Whereas the initial Send Message node for Slack has a lot more options, including:

  1. Include Link to Workflow (This is the one that should be added to the Update node)
  2. Custom Bot Profile Photo
  3. Unfurl Links/Unfurl Media

And more. I understand a handful of these options don’t make sense on the Update Message node, but it is strange that the first 2 listed above are absent?
