Introduction
Need a 24-hour follow-up in Slack without remembering to check back? This automation posts your message now, waits a day, then replies in the same thread to confirm or nudge the team. ✅
Trigger Event
A webhook triggers the workflow (from your app, form, or another system).
Actions
- First, a message is posted to your chosen Slack channel. You can set a custom bot name and icon so it matches your brand.
- The workflow then pauses for exactly 24 hours—no manual reminders needed.
- After 24 hours, the automation replies in the original message’s thread, confirming that the delay finished (perfect for reminders, follow-ups, or status pings).
Benefits
- Hands-free follow-ups in Slack
- Consistent 24-hour reminders without human error
- Clear context by replying in the original thread
- Custom bot identity for better visibility and trust
- Simple webhook start—connect from any app or backend
