Individual feed items

Coming soon. This isn't available to customers yet.

Each update from a connected app appears as its own post in the conversation, as it arrives. Chat is coming soon.

Use it when

Every update matters on its own and they don't come too often: new orders for a small bakery, or each new review. When Chat opens, it's the Individual updates choice when you add updates from an app to a conversation. If many kinds of update arrive at once, grouping them by kind keeps the conversation tidier; if you'd rather read them once a day, a scheduled summary suits better.

How to get each of an app's updates as its own post

Before you start: choose the channel, or the conversation with other people, where the updates should go.

1. Open Chat from your sidebar, then open that conversation.
2. At the top, press Conversation options (⋯), then People….
3. Press More, then Add updates from an app.
4. Under Get updates from, pick the app.
5. Under Show as, choose Individual updates, then press Next.
6. Press Turn on updates.
7. Press Add updates.

The window closes. From now on, each new update from the app comes into this conversation as its own post.

What it adds or changes

• Shows: One post per update
• Does: Nothing else

Changes only how updates look

What it needs

It needs:

• Your unexpired Chat feed setup prepared for this conversation (required)

Example

Sweet Crumb Bakery, a fictional bakery, adds its online shop's updates to its #orders channel as individual updates. Each new order appears as its own post a moment after it's placed. Showing it this way changes only how updates look; nobody is notified and nothing else happens.
