Why Send Articles to Slack
Slack is where many teams already work. Posting new articles to a channel keeps your team or community instantly aware of fresh content — useful for internal announcements, editorial workflows, or notifying members when something new is published.
Connection Modes
- Default (Mokonyx) — Uses the pre-configured Mokonyx webhook.
- Custom — Use your own Slack app webhook.
Credentials
- Webhook URL (Custom mode) — Slack Incoming Webhook URL from api.slack.com/apps.
Setup (Custom Mode)
- Go to api.slack.com/apps and create a new app.
- Enable Incoming Webhooks.
- Add a new webhook to a workspace channel.
- Copy the webhook URL into MokonyxSocial.
Limits
Messages support Slack Block Kit formatting with rich text, images, and action buttons.
Tips for Best Results
- Choose the target channel carefully — An Incoming Webhook posts to the specific channel it was created for; create a separate webhook per channel you want to notify.
- Keep the webhook private — A webhook URL grants posting access, so treat it like a secret and regenerate it if it's exposed.
- Use default mode to start — The Mokonyx webhook gets you posting quickly; switch to custom when you want messages to come from your own Slack app.
Troubleshooting
If notifications don't appear, confirm the webhook URL is correct and still active — deleting the Slack app or webhook invalidates it, requiring a new URL. Re-enter the updated webhook in MokonyxSocial.
