Hi, I’m writing a plugin that defines a slash command, and I need to access the attachments of the slash command message. In the CommandArgs parameter of the `ExecuteCommand` hook, there are both `RootId` and `ParentId` properties, both of which are not the `PostId` or `FileIds` I need. Is there a way to get to the command message’s attachments? ---

Would you be open to asking about this on our [community server’s Developers channel](https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/developers)? Someone from our community will probably know. ---

I just did, thank you. I had previously asked on ~Toolkit, with no avail but I’ll admit I’m a bit lost about which channel to use when asking for help relating to plugins (I usually go for Toolkit or Peer to Peer help).
