Slack

Schedule Slack channel announcements for customers, communities, and teams

Weekly product updates, all-hands notes, and daily community prompts, written once and delivered on time. FoPost posts through a Slack incoming webhook, so setup takes a minute and no app install is needed.

A post previewed exactly as Slack will render it, before it publishes

Works alongside

Webhook setup

Paste one URL. No OAuth, no admin approval.

Mentions

@channel, @here, and @user land as real mentions.

Attachments

Files and rich blocks in any message.

Customer channels

Every customer hears the update the same morning

Shared Slack channels are where customers actually read release notes. Write the update once in FoPost, pick every customer channel, and schedule it for their working hours instead of pasting it twenty times.

Multi-channel

One message, many webhooks, one send time.

Timezone aware

Schedule per channel so nobody gets pinged at 3am.

Attachments

Up to 100 attachments and 50 blocks per message.

Formatting

Messages that read well at a glance

A good Slack update has a headline, a few bullets, and a link. FoPost keeps your formatting intact, resolves mentions, and previews the message the way Slack will render it before you schedule.

Slack markup

Bold, lists, code, and links, up to 40,000 characters.

Mentions

@channel, @here, and individual users.

Threaded follow-ups

Schedule the original and the reply that follows it.

Recurring

The standup prompt that never forgets

Communities run on rituals: the Monday question, the Friday wins thread, the weekly newsletter. Set any message to recur and FoPost posts it on schedule, so the ritual survives holidays and busy weeks.

AI writing

Turn a changelog into a message people read

Paste the release notes and FoPost drafts the customer-facing version: what changed, why it matters, where to click. Rewrite it shorter for a busy channel or longer for an internal one, in your brand voice.

Slack questions, answered

How do I connect a Slack channel?

In Slack, create an incoming webhook for the channel and paste its URL into FoPost. No OAuth flow and no workspace admin approval are required.

Can I post to several channels or workspaces?

Yes. Each webhook is one destination, so add a webhook per channel across as many workspaces as you need and pick them in the composer.

Do mentions work?

Yes. @channel, @here, and user mentions are sent as real Slack mentions and notify the way they would if typed in Slack.

What are the limits?

Up to 40,000 characters, 50 blocks, and 100 attachments per message, matching Slack’s own ceilings.

Can I schedule a message and a threaded reply?

Yes. Schedule the original message and a follow-up reply that posts into its thread.

Is there an API for posting to Slack through FoPost?

Yes. The REST API and SDKs expose the same publish and schedule endpoints the dashboard uses.
