Send image: Same URL but NOT updated image

(Oliver Schmidt) #1

Hi at all!

I want to make my bot sending me an image card, which is an automatically updated google sheet graph! Option at google sheet: Published as a imaged + automatically update, when values are changed.

I set up my bot and he is sending me my image card (trigger: send message “report”)
But after the first time, he is sending me always the same image url, even when the graph has changed.

The google sheet links are working: I can copy the image URL from the action and past it in a browser window and see always the updated graph. But the bot send me always the “old” one when triggered.

Hi Oliver,

I’ve just setup a quick test case for this. Just so we’re on the same page, here are the steps I used to publish my chart to an image:

  1. Created the chart.
  2. From the toolbar, clicked on File > publish to the web…
  3. Selected the chart from the drop-down menu and changed ‘interactive’ to ‘image’.
  4. Made sure that ‘Automatically republish when changes are made’ was enabled.

When testing in the browser I did notice that there can be a few minutes delay before the URL shows the updated values on the chart. In your Flow, are you updating values and then trying to view the chart in a short time-frame?

Thanks,
Dan
