Hello pros,
I’m working at importing several hundred Whatsapp messages to Mattermost, along with many attachments. I’m still at the beginning testing stages, as well as writing a program to convert the Whatsapp messages to the proper jsonl format.
I have successfully imported messages, but now on my first test with an attachment, I run in to trouble.
On the first round, the message imported, (and I failed to capture the log lines), and the attachment was there but just as a dead link (no file.) When I deleted the message and ran the import tool again, I see these log lines. One line noting that the file is already uploaded, and then 2 more lines that the file could not be attached. I changed the file name as well in my tests, and watched the logs, and it successfully uploaded, but had the same error lines that it could not attach the file.
Sorry if I’m overlooking something simple, but I’ve gotten myself familiar with the relevant sections of this page, and I’ve searched this forum and the web for similar questions that have been asked, but without success.
Thanks in advance!
