Post notifications

Notify teams when a post goes live, and make the preview the centerpiece

Postly currently sends publish notifications by email. The next release expands that system into Slack, Discord, and Telegram while keeping one consistent payload: publish summary, channel results, action links, and a clear post preview that helps users verify exactly what went live without reopening Postly first.

Release picture

Shipping now

Email is the current notification channel, and the enhancement direction is to keep one shared success payload while expanding delivery destinations.

Coming next

Slack, Discord, and Telegram are planned next, with the post preview kept as the most important part of the notification experience.

Focus areas

Email is live today

Publish notifications are already available through email delivery.

Unified multi-channel roadmap

Slack, Telegram, and Discord are planned without splitting the payload model across different systems.

Preview-first design

The notification should show what was published, not just that something published.

Live now

What is true right now

The current product state is clear: publish notifications are delivered by email today.

Email delivery for publish notifications

Postly currently provides post notifications through email, giving users a direct publish confirmation channel today.

  • Live delivery via email
  • Fits current publish confirmation workflows
  • Provides the foundation for the broader notification system

Notification system direction is already defined

The enhancement work is not just about adding channels. It is about building one consistent notification contract across all of them.

  • Shared payload design across channels
  • Consistent publish confirmation model

Preview is the key UX requirement

The most important enhancement is that users should be able to see what was published directly in the notification without reopening Postly first.

  • Post text snippet
  • Media thumbnail where available
  • Fallback to text-only when no media exists

Coming soon

What the enhancement adds next

The roadmap expands delivery channels and makes the post preview a first-class notification object across every supported destination.

Slack, Telegram, and Discord delivery

Coming soon

The notification system is expanding beyond email so teams can receive publish confirmations in the communication tools they already monitor.

  • Slack block-based messages
  • Telegram bot messages
  • Discord embed messages

One consistent payload across all channels

Coming soon

Every notification should include the same essential data so users get a reliable confirmation experience no matter where it arrives.

  • Workspace name, publish timestamp, and totals
  • Successful and failed channel counts
  • Per-channel success and failure breakdown

Preferences, delivery controls, and observability

Coming soon

The roadmap includes recipient preferences, status filtering, retries, deduplication, and notification delivery logging.

  • Enable or disable per channel
  • Success-only, failure-only, or both
  • Logged delivery status and deduplication

How it fits

How the publish-notification flow is being expanded

The current system starts with email and grows into a preview-first, multi-channel notification layer around publish events.

1

A publish event completes

A scheduled publish, manual publish, or multi-channel publish job reaches completion and triggers a notification flow.

2

Post summary and preview are assembled

The notification payload should contain the publish summary, channel outcomes, and a preview of the content that actually went live.

3

Channel-specific delivery renders the same payload

Email is live today, while Slack, Telegram, and Discord are the next delivery targets for the same core notification data.

Scoped roadmap

These boards capture the enhancement direction clearly so the page stays honest about what exists today and what is planned next.

Core requirementCritical UX requirement

Every notification should include a usable post preview

The post preview is the centerpiece of the enhancement. Users should be able to verify what was published directly from the notification itself.

Post text or truncated caption preview
Media thumbnail when available
Platform-aware formatting where possible
Text-only fallback when no media exists

Why this matters

Faster verification

Users can confirm the published content immediately without opening Postly first.

Less ambiguity after publish

The notification shows what went live, not just that a publish event happened.

What this unlocks

What the stronger notification system unlocks

The value is not just another alert channel. It is faster verification, better team visibility, and a stronger post-publish feedback loop.

Preview-first confidence

Users can instantly see what was published and verify that the content looks right.

Better team visibility

Publish outcomes can reach teams in the channels they already watch instead of staying trapped in one inbox.

A scalable delivery system

Shared payloads, preferences, and logs make the system more extensible than one-off channel-specific notifications.

Next step

Use email notifications now and grow into preview-first multi-channel delivery next

Postly already sends publish notifications via email. The next step expands that into Slack, Discord, and Telegram while keeping the post preview, channel results, and action links consistent everywhere.
