Keep Facebook post timing up to date
Let a timing decision in Slack update the Facebook publishing schedule before the old slot arrives.
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
Reschedule Post
Changes the scheduled publish time of an unpublished facebook post.
Why this helps
Plans shift, but scheduled content stays at the old time because the person coordinating the change has to update another tool.
- Keep publishing plans aligned with the latest team decision.
- Avoid remembering a second scheduling update after a Slack discussion.
- Reduce the chance of content going live at the wrong time.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Facebook to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe how a Slack message identifies the unpublished post and its new time; select the Slack channel-message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real rescheduling change and verify the Facebook schedule.
Questions about this workflow
Can this reschedule a post that is already published?
The Facebook action changes the scheduled time of an unpublished post. Use it only for content that is still scheduled or unpublished.
What timezone should I include?
State your preferred timezone in the instruction and include an unambiguous time in the Slack message.
