Slack: post message

The Slack: post message Point template posts a message to a Slack channel with your Slack app’s bot token.

This point authenticates with its own bot token — it doesn’t use any account-level integration configured elsewhere in Settings.

Configure the point

  1. Drag Slack: post message from the Integrations section of the left panel onto the canvas.
  2. Double-click the point and enter a Step Name.
  3. In Bot token, enter your Slack app’s xoxb- bot token. It’s stored masked, like a webhook secret header, and Slack never returns it back to Pushwoosh.
  4. In Channel, enter the channel ID or name your app is a member of.
  5. In Message, enter the text to post. It takes the same macros as any Webhook body: {{device:hwid}}, {{device:user_id}}, {{tag:Name}}.
  6. Click Save.

Response

After the step runs, the posted message’s timestamp is available in later steps as attribute slack_message_ts — use it the same way you’d use a Webhook response attribute, for example to set a Tag with Update user profile.
