How to use it
Three steps. Under two minutes. No developer needed. Built on the official Slack Web API.
Click Connect Slack. The Slack OAuth screen asks the workspace owner to grant the read-only scopes the widget needs (channels:history, channels:read, users:read). One click, no IT ticket. The app appears in your workspace's installed apps list.
Choose the public channel you want to embed from the connected workspace, then adjust the available styling controls so the feed matches your page.
Use your own analytics to validate this feed on your site.
Works everywhere
Drop-in install on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Ghost, and any HTML-friendly stack. No build step, no developer needed.
Plus 250+ other platforms via the embed snippet. If your site can render a <script> tag, it can render the Slack Community Feed Widget: Embed Public Channel Threads on Any Website.
Six things that matter when you embed a Slack community on a brand site, not 30 features no one uses.

The OAuth scopes are explicit: channels:history and channels:read for configured Slack channels. Private channels, DMs, group DMs and Slack Connect channels are out of scope and unreachable. This is the right safety boundary for a marketing-page embed and matches Slack's own intent for public-channel content.
Renders parent messages with thread context, threaded reply counts, and reaction emoji (including custom workspace emoji). Real Slack content, not a screenshot.
Embed the public Slack channel you select from the connected workspace. The source stays simple and predictable, so visitors see the same channel activity your community members see.
Each feed is scoped to the Slack workspace where the Poper app is installed and the public channel selected in the builder. Permissions stay clear, revocable and tied to a single workspace source.
The embed loads through the Poper snippet. Validate layout and performance on your own page after embedding.

Use cases
Four buyer types who get the most lift from embedding Slack Community Feed Widget: Embed Public Channel Threads on Any Website on their site.
Open-source projects with active Slack workspaces (Kubernetes, Apache, Cloud Native Computing Foundation projects) embed the #help or #showcase channel on the project README site so contributors see maintainers solving real problems before joining.
Cohort-based online courses (Maven, Reforge, On Deck) run weekly Q&A in Slack. Embed the #cohort-X channel on the course landing page so prospective students see instructors answering assignment questions and the cohort actively learning together.

City and chapter meetup groups (TechCrunch Disrupt, dev meetups, founder dinners) run year-round Slack workspaces. Embed the #city-meetup channel on the chapter homepage so prospective attendees see upcoming RSVPs before signing up.
Plenty of platforms sell social and community embed widgets. Here is how Poper stacks up against the widget providers for the Slack community use case.
| Recommended Poper | Elfsight | Common Ninja | Slack native /pin saves | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Poper workspace available | Limited free | Limited free | Workspace only | |
| Dedicated Slack community widget | N/A | |||
| Embeds on a public marketing site | ||||
| Renders message text and reactions | No Slack support | No Slack support | Saved view only | |
| Threaded replies rendered | No Slack support | No Slack support | ||
| OAuth install (no user token) | Workspace OAuth | No Slack support | No Slack support | N/A |
| Public channels only enforced | N/A | N/A | N/A | |
| Layout styling controls | Paid only | Paid only | ||
| Pricing for Slack feed widgets | Plan details vary | Vendor pricing varies | Vendor pricing varies | No-code with Slack |
| Bundled with popups, forms, quizzes |
Comparison reflects external competitor positioning. Poper pricing shown is the Starter plan billed yearly. Elfsight and Common Ninja are general widget platforms and, at time of writing, do not ship a dedicated Slack community widget. Note: Slack's Sept 2022 policy change limits free workspaces to the most recent 90 days of message history, so any embed reading older messages requires a paid Pro, Business+ or Enterprise Grid workspace.

“We run an OSS maintainer Slack with about 4,000 members and the Sept 2022 free-tier change forced us to upgrade to Pro. Embedding the #beginners channel on the project README site means new contributors see the community is genuinely active before they join.”
“We embed the #cohort-updates channel on every program page now. Prospective students can see current discussions, instructor notes and recent wins without us rebuilding screenshots before each launch.”

Slack's enterprise tiers add two pieces that matter for community embeds: Slack Connect (cross-workspace channels, where members of two different workspaces can collaborate in a shared channel) and Enterprise Grid (a single org spanning multiple workspaces, typical at companies above 1,000 employees). The Poper widget intentionally does not read Slack Connect channels even when the workspace owner has access. Slack Connect channels span multiple organizations, the membership is by definition not solely under one workspace owner's control, and embedding cross-org content on a public marketing page would create real consent problems for the partner organization's members. The widget treats Slack Connect channels as out of scope, the same way it treats private channels, regardless of whether the OAuth token would technically permit reading them. Enterprise Grid organizations can install the Poper app for the workspace that owns the public channel they want to show, and each feed remains scoped to that selected workspace and channel. That boundary keeps consent, source ownership and revocation simple: if a workspace owner removes the app, the related feed stops reading from that workspace on the next sync cycle.

A Slack community widget is an embeddable script that reads a selected public Slack channel from a connected workspace via the Slack Web API and displays it on a third-party website with OAuth-scoped, read-only access.
