Slack

Your Slack channels, on the same calendar

Announcements, launch reminders and weekly round-ups go to Slack from the composer you already use for Instagram, LinkedIn and the rest.

Included in the Agency plan.

What you can do

  • Schedule a message to a channel, or send it now
  • Add images and links, like any post
  • Edit or delete a message later from Hivenza
  • See Slack messages beside your social posts on the calendar

Good to know

  • Each connection posts to the channel you pick when you add Hivenza
  • In a private channel, invite the Hivenza app first
  • Slack shares no numbers, so Slack posts aren't counted in analytics

Included in the Agency plan.

How teams use it

Launch day
The launch post goes out on Instagram and LinkedIn, and the same hour the whole company sees it in #general.
Weekly round-up
Every Monday, a message lists the week’s posts so sales and support know what customers will see.
Client channels
Agencies post the approved week into each client’s shared Slack channel, so nobody asks where things stand.
Fixes in one place
Spotted a typo? Edit the message from Hivenza, and the channel shows the corrected version.

Questions

Can I post to several Slack channels?

Yes. Connect Slack once per channel; each channel is its own account in Hivenza.

Can Hivenza read our Slack?

No. It only posts, edits and deletes its own messages in the channels you chose.

Which plan includes Slack?

The Agency plan, together with Discord and Microsoft Teams.
