Fix Facebook post details from Slack
Make the correction where your team discusses it, then let Notis update the existing post.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Update Post
Updates an existing facebook page post.
Why this helps
A public post has outdated or incorrect information, but editing it competes with the rest of the founder's work.
- Reduce the delay between spotting an error and correcting the post.
- Keep correction details with the Slack discussion that explains them.
- Avoid recreating the post when a focused update is enough.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Facebook to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create this automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Explain how Slack messages identify the post and the exact correction; select the Slack channel-message trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real correction and confirm the intended Facebook post was updated.
