Hi @k-root Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Support, I am happy to help here! Could you please share with me to what events are you listening to? Are you referring to the following event: > **[Zoom API Events - Chat](https://zoom-developer-doc.zoomapp.cloud/docs/api-reference/chat/events/)** > > The Zoom Developer Platform is an open platform that allows third-party developers to build applications and integrations upon Zoom’s video-first unified communications platform. Thanks Elisa ---

Hi @elisa.zoom: > [@k-root](#): > > **Which Endpoint/s?** > Events: chat\_message.sent I’m listening to the events **chat\_message.sent** and not getting any events from the attachments chat message. Is there any alternative events related to the file attachment in the chat? ---

Hi @elisa.zoom , I am also experiencing this issue. We receive chat messages according to the chat\_message.sent scope: [Zoom API Events - Chat](https://zoom-developer-doc.zoomapp.cloud/docs/api-reference/chat/events/#/paths/chat_message.sent/post). However, when a message with an attachment is sent, there is no webhook notification sent from zoom. Could you assist us with this issue? Thank you! ---

Ah I see!!! @k-root and @ttt So as you can see in our Docs, this is by design and the payload from the webhook does not contain the file attachment. Feel free to make a feature request here: > **[Feature Requests](https://devforum.zoom.us/c/feature-requests/23)** > > Have an API or SDK feature request? Share it here! Cheers, Elisa ---

Hi Elisa: I’m not only asking for the contain file attachment, the issue here is once message with an attachment, the webhook don’t send anything, we expected there are **chat\_message.sent** or some alternative show out at least, even though it lack of attachment information, otherwise users are literally under the radar by chatting with file attachment. This is a potential security issue for us. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/2/1/2140e4dbdb47509476c88c1a9a466239940404d9.png) ---
