Questions about this workflow
Does this trigger watch topic replies?
No. The event detects new discussion topics. Use the discussion message event for new messages.
What happens when a topic has no media?
There is no URL for the Cincopa upload action, so describe importing only when a usable media link exists.
Can it import multiple linked assets?
The action uploads an asset from a provided URL. Confirm the automation can identify and handle the intended links in a real example.
