      Unsupported Features: Slack

      Here's a breakdown of what Unito's Slack integration can't do yet — and a few other considerations.

      In this article:

      Unsupported Slack fields

      • Reactions: You won't be able to sync reactions just yet.

      Other Slack limitations

      • Filtering rules: These currently aren't supported for this integration, meaning you'll have to sync all Slack messages.
      • Updating messages not created by Unito: This is a Slack security notification that prevents confusion impersonation of Slack users by apps and add-ons.
      • Rich text support: Slack only supports markdown-style rich text, which isn’t compatible with all tools. For example, you could sync a Bold message to Asana without any trouble, but it might show up as *Bold message* in other tools.
      • Webhooks: Because these aren't supported for this integration, it can take at least five minutes for changes in Slack to sync with other tools.
      • Private channels: Due to a limitation with Slack's API, only public channels are currently supported by this integration.

      Other Slack considerations

      Syncing historical data

      Each flow will only sync the 500 most recent messages. Note that this limit doesn't apply to replies, but only messages. That means your 500 messages can have any number of replies and they'll all get synced. As soon as you have your 501st message, however, the message that used to be the oldest won't be synced anymore — since Unito will sync the 501st message.
