Tips for Slack
- Slack uses its own markdown, called mrkdwn. Use *bold* and bullet lists for clear updates.
- Files are uploaded to the channel with the message.
- Follow-up comments become replies in the thread, which keeps the channel tidy.
- Postozo posts with a Slack app bot token. The app needs chat:write and files:write, and you paste the channel ID.
Example Slack post
A regular update at the same time each week, with questions kept in the thread. This is sample text to show the format, not a real customer post.
Checklist before you schedule a Slack post
- The text is under 40,000 characters for Slack.
- No more than 10 photos or files are attached.
- The first comment or thread parts are written, if you want them.
- The channel sits under the right customer, so approval rules apply.
- A time is picked, or the post uses the next free slot.
How approval, AI and analytics work on Slack
Approval. If the Slack channel belongs to a customer with approval turned on, every post waits for a yes. The client sees a preview on a review link and can approve, ask for changes or comment. A post that is changed after approval goes back for a new yes.
AI. The AI assistant can fit a post to Slack, keeping it under 40,000 characters, in your brand voice. It can also translate it, suggest a first comment and write alt text for pictures. Nothing changes until you accept.
Analytics. Postozo does not read post results from Slack, so there are no Slack numbers on the analytics page. You can still count clicks on your links with short links.
