Hi all! I’m trying to schedule posts to a specific Slack channel at a date/time that’s pulled from a Google Sheet. All info is pulling perfectly and Zapier tells me the post is successfully scheduled after testing, but I don’t see it in the Scheduled section in Slack. What am I missing?

Scheduled Slack messages - where are they?

Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I confirmed that this is just the way Slack’s API works 😀
I sent an API request to the scheduleMessage endpoint outside of Zapier and I witnessed the same behavior as you: the scheduled message gets sent when it’s supposed to, but it does not display in the list of Scheduled Messages when I go there in Slack.
Hope that helps!

Hi
Good question.
It may be because the Zap is action on your behalf and thus the Scheduled Message is not actually a message “you” scheduled, thus why you are unable to see it in Slack.
You may want to open a ticket with Zapier Support for guidance: https://zapier.com/app/get-help
