# 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.
