Zapier reddit-to-discord zap posts links with no image preview

Built a zap that drops new subreddit posts into our community discord. Text comes through fine, but images just show as a bare link with no embed. Do I need to map a different field?

The preview isn't something Zapier sends. Discord fetches the link itself and builds the preview, and reddit doesn't always serve preview data to Discord's crawler, so you get a bare link. The reliable way round it is to build the embed yourself: send the message through a Discord webhook and map the post's title, URL and thumbnail or image field from the reddit trigger into the embed. Some reddit posts don't have an image at all, so add a filter or fallback for those.
