How do you schedule Slack posts with PlatPost?

What you need to post to Slack

Messages to the channel you chose at connect.

Open Connected Channels and press Connect next to Slack. You sign in on Slack, then choose the channel your messages go to.

How to schedule a Slack post

The steps are the same for every network.

1. Connect your Slack account in Connected Channels.
2. Open Create, type one idea and pick a tone. PlatPost writes three drafts in your own voice.
3. Edit the drafts, fill any gap, and keep the ones you like.
4. Drag a kept draft onto a day on the calendar and tick Slack.
5. Set the time. PlatPost posts it then, and the calendar shows that it went out.

Slack limits that PlatPost checks

The text limit PlatPost uses for Slack is 40,000 characters. The composer counts as you type.

A Slack post can be text alone. You can add an image or a video from the media studio.

Post to Slack and your other networks together

One idea can go to Slack and to any of the other 15 networks in the same step. Each post is written for its network, never one text copied across.

When you tick more than one network, the composer counts against the tightest limit, so the post fits everywhere you send it.

The route PlatPost uses

PlatPost posts to Slack through the route the network approves for apps. It never uses scraping or a copied browser session, because that can get an account restricted.
