Message Shortcuts
Tightknit comes with several message shortcuts (opens in a new tab) you can use to manage your community content from Slack.
How to Access Shortcuts in Slack
Step 1
Desktop: Hover over the message, and click the three dots icon ⋮.
Step 2
The app shortcuts will be at the bottom of the menu. Find the options that have the Tightknit name and logo.
If you don't see any Tightknit options, click More message shortcuts... and then search for "Tightknit" or the name of the shortcut.
You cannot use shortcuts on ephemeral messages.
Tightknit Shortcuts

| Edit post title and slug | Updates the title and/or slug of the corresponding post in the Tightknit companion site. ⚠️ Modifying the slug will change the URL for the post and break any existing links or bookmarks to the page. | Any message in Slack thread | Admin |
| Remove from site | Removes the post or comment from the Tightknit companion site only. The original Slack message is unaffected. Deleting a post will also remove its comments, whereas deleting an individual comment will not affect the post or the remainder of the comments. | Delete a post: Use on Slack message, or Tightknit bot reply.
